What is the strength of alcohol in these cleaning pads?

100% (ethanol or isopropanol) is much more effective at stripping paint, dissolving most stuff, and drying out skin, but actually less effective at killing bacteria and viruses than the 65-80% in most hand sanitizers. It would be better to put some 70% alcohol on a napkin or paper towel and wipe with that instead.
