However, other uses could be cleaning up oil spills, generating electricity, heating your home, cooking, illumination, cleaning up tools and grease, removing paint and adhesives, asphalt cleanup agent, hand cleaner, screen printing ink remover, auto wax remover, corrosion preventative, and metal working lubricant.
