∙ 14y agoYes, rubbing alcohol will kill fungus, assuming the living fungus cells are exposed to the alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol breaks down many of a cell's processes rendering it dead within a few seconds, a process called denaturation. If the cells of the fungus are not exposed directly to the rubbing alcohol then it will not kill those cells. Hence, humans can touch rubbing alcohol without major injury as our living tissue is protected by the upper most layer of skin which is dead.

Does mold grow in alcohol?
Yes, mold can grow in alcohol, it actually grows quite well! Bacteria on the other hand, does not. Many people find particulate matter in bottles of vodka which are 40% alcohol and think it must be bacteria, but what they are actually seeing is mold in different stages of growth. Alcohol breeds mold so well (due in large part to its high sugar content) that it can be used as a growth medium for many molds!!

Can bourbon kill mold?
Alcohol and MoldDrinking alcohol such as bourbon and vodka will probably not do a great job at killing mold because it contains a lot of sugar and the strength of the alcohol is not enough to cause serious damage-in addition the inebriated little mold spores might have lowered inhibitons leading to reckless behavior, and ultimately... more mold.I would try rubbing alcohol (70% Isopropyl) or store bought mold killers.
