This card pertains to a resource available on the internet.

Most of a house can be cleaned with Mr Clean's Clean Freak for oily surfaces and dried food, and all purpose cleaner.

All purpose cleaner: 70% isopropyl alcohol, 5-6 drops of dawn dish soap.

Youtuber buys >90% strength and dilutes as needed.

70% alcohol is needed to kill microbes along with some water to get microbes to eat it.

Don't use APC on wood.
