How much rubbing alcohol do you put into windshield wiper fluid to keep it from from freezing?

Normal windshield washer fluid contains methanol. Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol. Assuming that your rubbing alcohol is 70% alcohol, I would mix 1 cup of alcohol for every 2 cups of distilled water. If you use tap water, you could get mineral deposits in your windshield washer tubing. Also, I wouldn't try using rubbing alcohol in an older car, because it might still use rubber tubing. This would be damaged by the isopropyl alcohol.

Why do people use rubbing alcohol to break a fever?

You should not apply isopropyl alcohol directly to the forehead or anywhere else on the body. Isopropyl alcohol, unlike ethyl (drinkable) alcohol, is toxic to the body. In small amounts applied to wounds, it is not harmful, but since isopropyl alcohol is easily absorbed by the skin, it can rise to toxic levels very quickly. However, since rubbing alcohol is offered as either isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, if you have a purely ethyl alcohol and water- based rubbing alcohol, it can be used for this purpose. However, it should first be diluted with more water since it is of a very high concentration that is still harmful to the body. Use about 1 part ethyl rubbing alcohol, 2-4 parts water. Obviously, do not use this on young children because it has the same effect as if you gave them alcohol to drink. Sure won't hurt, it also won't help. It might feel cooling but it won't significantly affect your internal body temp. You need to rid your body of infection or take a medication that will lower your temp such as aspirin, acetominphen, or ibuprofen. However, don't take aspirin if you are under 15 years old because of the risk of Rye's Syndrome. Studies have shown that using isoprpyl alcohol and water baths for fever can be dangerous. The fumes from the mixture can be harmful to both the person being bathed and the person giving the bath as they can be absorbed through the lungs. The isopropyl alcohol can also be absorbed by the skin when applied to the skin. The amount of alcohol that would be used in a bath could lead to alcohol toxicity. Medical studies have shown that inhalation or absorption from the skin could lead to toxic levels of isopropyl alcohol.

How do you get Flarp out of carpets?

Pour white vinegar on it to "dissolve" the Flarp gooey-ness. Then, the Flarp color may still remain (though very light). Pour rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on the stain and press with light-colored towels or paper towels. That should help some of the color to come up. My daughter's bright pink Flarp left only a VERY pale (not noticeable unless you know to look for it) pink stain in our beige carpeting.
