Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Methylated Spirits and rubbing alcohol?

Methylated Spirits (denatured alcohol) is primarily ethanol that has been mixed with a small amount of toxic additives to make it unfit for human consumption. Rubbing alcohol is typically isopropyl alcohol. Both are excellent solvents and evaporate quickly, but Metho is generally cheaper and widely used for commercial glass cleaning and as a fuel.

Why is this product so good for cleaning windows and mirrors?

Because it is 95% pure alcohol, it evaporates almost instantly when wiped across a surface. Standard water-based cleaners take time to dry, which leaves cloudy streaks. Metho flashes off immediately, leaving glass and mirrors flawlessly clear and streak-free.

How do restaurants use this to clean cutlery?

After cutlery or glassware is washed, a quick wipe with a cloth dampened in Metho Basic acts as a 'drying aid'. It forces any remaining water droplets to evaporate instantly, preventing ugly hard-water spots and leaving the metal highly polished.

Is it safe to use on polished timber furniture?

No. Methylated spirits is a highly potent solvent. It will rapidly dissolve and strip away traditional varnishes, French polishes, and lacquers from timber furniture, permanently ruining the finish.

Can I use this to remove sticky label residue?

Yes, it acts as an excellent, fast-acting solvent for breaking down the sticky adhesive residue left behind by price tags, tape, and window stickers.

Do I need to dilute this product with water?

For heavy solvent work or as a drying aid, it is best used neat (undiluted). However, for general window cleaning, many professionals mix a small amount of Metho with water in a spray bottle to create a highly effective, streak-free glass cleaner.

Is it safe to use around food preparation areas?

Because it is highly toxic if ingested, it should not be sprayed directly onto food. However, it is frequently used to sanitize and wipe down stainless steel prep benches, provided the surface is allowed to completely dry and the alcohol fully evaporates before food contact.

Why is it labeled as 'Highly Flammable'?

Denatured alcohol is a highly volatile fuel source. The liquid, and especially the invisible fumes it produces, can ignite instantly if exposed to a spark, open flame, or even a hot stovetop. It must be stored and used with extreme caution.

Will this kill mold in my bathroom?

While high-concentration alcohol can kill surface mold spores, it evaporates too quickly to penetrate deep into grout lines to kill the 'root' of the mold. A dedicated bleach or enzymatic mold killer is much better for bathroom mold.

Can it be used to clean electronics?

While it evaporates quickly, Isopropyl alcohol is generally preferred for sensitive electronics. If using Metho on keyboards or screens, ensure it is applied to the cloth first (never sprayed directly) and test it to ensure it doesn't melt soft plastics.

Is the formula bad for the environment?

No. Freshway Metho Basic is 100% phosphate-free and completely biodegradable. When it evaporates or breaks down, it does not leave harmful pollutants in the ecosystem.

Do you offer wholesale pricing for hospitality venues?
