Methylated Spirits, commonly known as Meths, is a widely used industrial-grade denatured alcohol, notable for its clear purple color and mild, non-residual odor. It is primarily an aliphatic alcohol that mixes well with most hydrocarbon solvents and chemicals. With a concentration of over 60% ethanol, it exhibits antibacterial properties. Meths is versatile, used for cleaning surfaces and floors, sterilizing medical and dental instruments, and in domestic cleaning. It's effective as a glass cleaner when diluted with water (1 part Meths to 5 parts water) and for cleaning wooden floors (1/2 cup Meths in 8 liters of warm water).
