Homemade Haven Isopropyl Alcohol (100%)

Homemade Haven Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) – 250 mL

What it is

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a fast-evaporating alcohol commonly used in DIY household cleaning and surface preparation recipes. Known for its ability to dissolve oils, residues and grime, it’s a practical ingredient for cleaning applications where quick drying and low residue are important.

For DIYers, isopropyl alcohol is typically used as part of a formulated blend rather than as a standalone cleaner.

What DIYers use it for

DIYers commonly use isopropyl alcohol in:

• Glass and mirror cleaning recipes
• Surface sanitising and wipe-down blends
• Electronics and device cleaning solutions
• Degreasing sprays for kitchens and workspaces
• Residue removal and surface preparation formulas

It’s usually diluted or combined with other ingredients depending on the recipe and surface.

What it does in recipes

In DIY cleaning formulations, isopropyl alcohol helps to:

• Dissolve oils, grease and sticky residues
• Remove fingerprints and surface films
• Support quick-drying, streak-free finishes
• Improve cleaning performance in spray and wipe formulas

Its rapid evaporation makes it especially useful where minimal moisture or residue is preferred.

Why DIYers choose it

DIYers value isopropyl alcohol for its effectiveness, versatility, and predictable performance in recipes. When used correctly, it supports efficient cleaning while fitting into a more intentional, ingredient-aware DIY routine.
