The bottom line. Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide both kill most bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In general, rubbing alcohol is better at killing germs on your hands, as it's gentler on your skin than hydrogen peroxide.

Chances are, you’ve probably come into contact with one or both of these chemical compounds at some point. One isn’t necessarily more effective than the other. With that said, their effectiveness can vary depending on how you use them and the types of germs you’re trying to kill. Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, as well as how to use them effectively. What’s the difference between rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide? About rubbing alcohol The active ingredient in rubbing alcohol is isopropanol, also known as isopropyl alcohol. A bottle of rubbing alcohol typically contains between 60 to 80 percent isopropanol dissolved in water. Rubbing alcohol has many uses. It’s a powerful germicide, which means it has the ability to kill a wide variety of germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Rubbing alcohol is used in healthcare settings to disinfect hands and surfaces, but can also be used as a household cleaner. In concentrations of 70 percent or higher , isopropanol has the ability to kill the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. About hydrogen peroxide Unlike isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide is not a type of alcohol. You might recognize its chemical formula, H2O2, as being similar to that of water (H2O). The difference is that hydrogen peroxide has two oxygen atoms instead of one. That one extra oxygen atom makes it a strong oxidizer. When you buy hydrogen peroxide from a pharmacy, you’re getting a solution that contains 3 percent hydrogen peroxide dissolved in water. This formulation is strong enough to kill harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Like rubbing alcohol, it also has the ability to destroy SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide has many other uses in the home. While hydrogen peroxide makes a great disinfectant, it’s not gentle enough to be used on your skin. That’s why you won’t find it in hand sanitizer. How to use rubbing alcohol to kill germs Be sure to use a rubbing alcohol product that contains at least 70 percent isopropanol. Don’t dilute rubbing alcohol with water. First, wash the surface you wish to disinfect with soap and water. Then use a wipe, towel, or spray bottle to evenly apply the rubbing alcohol to the surface. Let it sit for at least 30 seconds. How to use hydrogen peroxide to kill germs Solutions of at least 3 percent hydrogen peroxide make efficient household disinfectants. Don’t dilute. As with rubbing alcohol, first wipe down the surface with soap and water. Use a spray bottle or a clean rag to apply the hydrogen peroxide to the surface. Allow the solution to sit on the surface for at least 10 minutes. You don’t need to wipe it off.
Vivace – lively and fast (132–140 BPM) Presto – extremely fast (168–177 BPM) Prestissimo – even faster than Presto (178 BPM and over)

Read More »What about for cuts and scrapes? Both rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide were once commonly used to clean minor wounds such as cuts and scrapes. This is no longer recommended. While rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide will kill harmful bacteria, they can be too harsh on the tissue surrounding the wound. Applying one of these substances may even make it harder for the wound to heal. Instead, thoroughly rinse a superficial wound with running water to remove any dirt and debris. Then gently clean around the edges of the wound with mild soap to disinfect the area. Safety precautions Don’t ingest either rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. They’re meant for external use only.
