An experiment shown by instagramer @diegofromtheblock proves that only alcohol completely eliminates microorganisms may be present in cans. Diego decided to test whether the most common practices for cleaning cans before consumption actually eliminate microorganisms. The result of his study could change your habits forever.
The experiment consisted of testing four cleaning methods: an uncleaned can, a can wiped with clothes, a can wiped with a dry napkin and a can disinfected with alcohol. Each sample was seeded in Petri dishes and incubated at 28 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. The results were clear, the uncleaned or cloth-rubbed cans showed bacterial and fungal growth, even those cleaned with a napkin were not completely free of microorganisms. Only cans disinfected with alcohol showed clean and safe surfaces.
