This is going to sound weird, but what is the difference between
Alcohol and Bleach? In terms of cleaning things. and Im not talking
about drinking Alcohol, but the rubbing kind.

I heard that if you have mold, etc, the best thing to do is mix bleach
and water and use that to clean.

But someone at my boxing gym sprays a mixture of alcohol and water on
his equipment.
He does it to prevent mold and to keep it from smelling.

Does it work similiar to bleach?

Thanks
