rubbing alcohol
« on: April 07, 2009, 05:24:01 AM »
I have heard that rubbing alcohol can actually push oil into the ball, while actual ball cleaners help to extract it.  I had a bottle of windex that I wa using and I just refilled the bottle with some rubbing alcohol. Is it a bad idea to be using rubbing alcohol?

I also poured a little bit of ball cleaner into the windex bottle.  This special mixture has so many purposes, it especially cleans the beer pong table well after a long night

But really, will this be bad for my rocks in the long run?

Rubbing alcohol does a good job of removing surface dirt but doesn't remove oil.  Try mixing the alcohol 50 - 50 with Simple Green for a more effective cleaner.  --  JohnP
