It's been bugging me all week.

I definitely bought it, I dimly remember ordering it.

Now it's here, though, I can't for the life of me remember why!

Any thoughts?

I bought some recently because DH had the plague and I needed something to sterilise the thermometer.

Did you purchase it for mould on fabric? I was recommended it for some mould on a mattress that was put in storage for two years.
After a few weeks of spraying the mattress every two/three days, the smelt went and the mould started to lighten. It didn’t get rid of the mould stains completely though, so I purchased a new mattress. Sadly my insurance cover didn’t cover mould on furniture.

You're an alcoholic, saw the word alcohol and thought you'd try it?

You can mix it with essential oil to make anti bug spray

Do you have command hooks you want to put up? They recommend cleaning the wall first don't they?

I bought some to clean a surface before sticking command hooks there, it was recommended to in the instructions.

That's what I was going to say.
