How long can you keep surgical spirit?

Surgical spirit, or rubbing alcohol, can typically be stored for about 3 to 5 years if kept in a cool, dark place and tightly sealed. It's important to check for any changes in color, clarity, or odor before use, as these may indicate degradation. Always refer to the expiration date on the packaging for the most accurate information. If in doubt, it’s best to dispose of it safely and replace it.
