A member asked:
Does rubbing alcohol leave behind any residue after it evaporates? i ask this because i'm considering using it to sanitize certain utensils.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Check label. It should only contain isopropyl alcohol and water--both evaporate. If colored / scented / denatured (common with ethanol), then there is 'something' else present, which may or may not evaporate.
