What are examples of antiseptics?
Antiseptic are agents used topically on the body, intended to destroy fungi, bacteria, virii and other biological pathogens. These are discrete from antibiotics, which may be injested and may also act systemically, and from disinfectants, which are not intended to be applied directly to a living entity. Typically, antiseptics are oxidants (such as hydrogen peroxide), dessicants (such as rubbing alcohol), lipid dissolvers or detergents (such as soap), and other more exotic categories.

Can alcohol kill mold?
AnswerAlcohol (of at least a 60% solution) will kill all fungi, 99.9% of bacteria and many viruses, but does not kill spores. ANSWER:It doesn't kill as well as you would think it should on skin. It will however sweep it from one place on the skin to another. When you go to give blood, the nurse starts with an alcohol prep pad and makes a circle with it going outwards. This is because alcohol is not a sterilizer. Use Betadine on the skin or bleach on other surfaces to kill bacteria most effectively. If an item is immersed in alcohol, then it will kill most bacteria.
