What are the advantages and disadvantages of using alcohol on thermometers?
Answers: Really outstandingly little adv or disadv that I can think of. Alcohol doesn't really decimate that many germs. That's why they go to using iodine or other bacteriostats. Rubbing the skin with alcohol past an injection really only help to remove some dead skin. Doesn't really decimate germs.
Depends a lot of what type of thermometers you are conversation about!
For medical thermometers, alcohol is used to shoot germs from person to personage. A good wipe beside an alcohol pad, and in that is no need surrounded by having it autoclaved (sterilized) because the alcohol does it for you. It is also time abiding to do it that way.
If you expect outside thermometers, honey, I have certainly, positively no clue!
