alcohol or other flammable chemicals, consider purchasing a flammable solvent cleanup kit.
Required supplies:
• Apron
• Non-reactive nitrile gloves

with gloves in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Isopropyl
alcohol evaporates rapidly, so keep the wash bucket and bottles closed whenever possible.
Spilled IPA presents an immediate fire and health hazard. IPA spills must be cleaned up
immediately. Use only disposable supplies to clean up an IPA spill to avoid risk of fire.
Immediately after an IPA spill, do the following:
1. Put on a pair of disposable nitrile gloves.
2. If a wash cycle is in progress, cancel the wash on the touchscreen.
3. Unplug the device from its power source.
4. Absorb excess IPA with paper towels.
5. Clean up any remaining residue using wet paper towels.
6. Dispose of any tools used to clean up the spill (paper towels soaked with IPA, gloves coated
in IPA) with hazardous waste according to local regulations.
