Yesterday night, my mom bought three bottles of it again and put in the garage near the Miracle Cage Cleaner. It is a new one and not being opened I think. I worried the smell will go inside the cage cleaner and become harmful if I use the cage cleaner and spray on the cage when I clean. Do you guys think I need a new one, but I have already used the cleaner for a long time. If I change to a new one suddenly, I doubt it will be harmful too?
 
That cage cleaner has isopropyl alcohol in it already. If it's the Natures Miracle Cage Cleaner.
 
Chemicals from one are not going to transfer out of the bottle they are in and into another bottle without physically opening both and mixing them together

Will it be like transferred I cannot smell it? I concern that the smell will be highly concentrated to the spout of Miracle Cage Cleaner and then to the bottle with certain harms to guniea pig even there is no new smell ?

Because there is someone said the alcohol can be harmful even if no smell can be smelled? Also, will it be highly concentrate and have smell on the spout. When I spray it, the alcohol mix with it so it is harmful?
 
Oh, does it contain a little or a lot amount of isopropyl/ rubbing alcohol though?

It doesn't have a lot, because it is not the main ingredient.

As another person said, in terms of physics and chemistry, there will not be transfer between the two fluids. Even if you had them right next to each other in open containers. Alcohol simply evaporates. It does not get into another container.

You mean even I open three of them and put near the cleaner and let it open. The only smell will not transfer to the cleaner Unless I add a little liquid directly. Is the smell in the air in terms of Gas form not harmful but not okay for the liquid form?
 
It's not that it's not harmful in gas form. It's that it dissipates in gas form to a non-harmful amount. It all has to do with the density of the gas in the air.

This is the same reason why many chemicals recommend using them in a well ventilated area. It's because the gases are not harmful if they are not concentrated. But they are harmful if they are not being ventilated out of the area and building up to a high concentration in the air.

But in terms of liquid form and mix them together even a little is harmful right? But is it fine that because the spouse of Natural Miracle Cage Cleaner is so small and the gas will concentrate and have smell in it, or even no smell will have certain harms?

Is the garage like not a ventilated place and the smell will follow the air flow to get to the spouse of the cleaner and concentrate?
 
There is no way that the rubbing alcohol smell or the alcohol itself will get on the spout. Unless you dip it in the rubbing alcohol. So do stop worrying. It’s fine to store them next to each other.
