Can I use Isopropyl alcohol in place of denatured alcohol to clean a sword blade?
NO! The Isopropyl alcohol sold in drugstores contains water and can cause corrosion. You are far better off to spend the little extra money to buy denatured alcohol, which cuts through grime, grease and oil to completely clean your blade and it evaporates completely, leaving no residue. Make sure to use a clean, dry cloth to do the cleaning. Instead of using oil on the blade after cleaning, consider a clear, hard past wax like Butcher's bowling alley wax or Renaissance micro-crystalline wax.

Can you substitute rubbing alcohol for denatured alcohol?
In some cases mineral spirits can be substituted for Denatured Alcohol. Denatured alcohol has a high vapor pressure so it evaporates much faster that mineral spirits; typically used as stove or marine fuel. It's useful for cleaning windows, metal, and electrical components. Mineral spirits, especially odorless, has a lower vapor pressure so it's less volatile and is used as a paint thinner. It is also more on the non-polar side so it's more effective as a degreaser and will clean grease and grime more aggressively.

How do you get the white water marks from your wood furniture?
The white marks are truly water marks-t here is a small amount of water down in the finish. Use a few drops of denatured alcohol (TEST in an inconspicuous place on the furniture first!) Spread the few drops of alcohol over the spot, let set for a few minutes- water marks should go away- wipe surface with a lint free cloth. Do NOT use rubbing alcohol, get denatured alcohol from the paint shop. You may need to do this a few times. The alcohol is pulling the water out of the finish.
