True. The cans of denatured alcohol at Home Depot said methanol (or methylated spirits, whatever). But that's a sample size of one. They were also labeled "alcohol fuel" or something like that.

I'm not sure what legitimate purpose ethanol serves at a home improvement store. To improve my home, ethanol has to be drinkable. ;-)

because how toxic alcohols other than ethanol, to humans and pets, i never bring other stuff to home. For cleaning/sanitizing purposes there is currently a bottle of Smirnoff among cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink. Yes, i'm Russian and say 25 years ago back there i'd consider such usage of good vodka a capital crime :)
