Q

a fast-acting disinfectant that can be wiped on
the skin and allowed to evaporate. Alcohols are more effective when combined with purified water. It has a wide microbicidal activity and is non-corrosive; however, it is not effective against fungal or bacterial spores and has limited activity in the presence of organic material. It is also flammable and has limited residual activity due to evaporation

A

Alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol)
