Alcohol as a sanitizer

hey,

I was looking for a fast sanitizing solution that would work instantly. For example wiping down lip of the yeast starter flask before pouring it. I heard people were using Isopropyl alcohol or ethanol but not sure where to get it from and what type. I don't really like how Isopropyl alcohol smells as I use it everyday at work. Would it be ok to use for sanitizing before handling yeast?
Maybe somebody has some link or brand name I could look into.

Thanks

Isn't this used then burnt off?

Isopropyl will evaporate very fast so you can't burn it off. Cant say anything about ethanol though, haven't used it.

70% ethanol is recommended as s surface steriliser. . . . Or I use 70% IPA if I can't get ethanol

personally for flasks and such I just flame the neck, then pour in the zone of the flame.

If it's going to come into contact with beer / foodstuff I tend not to use 'alcohols' though
