I wonder what Rubbing Alcohol in the U.S. of A equates to in the UK?
Would methylated spirits do the job?

Here I am, and here's the recipe:

SOAP solution!

I pour a solution of 1 to 2 tablespoon dishwashing detergent, 1
tablespoon of vegetable oil into a plastic gallon and slowly add water
to fill the gallon jug. I fill this solution from the gallon bottle
into a spray bottle and just before using I add 1 to 2 two caps

full (from the rubbing alcohol bottle) of rubbing alcohol and spray
immediately. If you do not use the full bottle of spray, I suggest the
next time you are going to use the soap/alcohol solution add the same
amount of rubbing alcohol again, since the alcohol will evaporate. I
store this soap/oil solution in the gallon jug for months on end. It
does not seem to go bad.

Spray on plants covering all leaf and stem surfaces. You may have to
spray from three to four times with intervals of three days. I have
eliminated almost any kind of pest that have attacked my trees,
including scale.

I do not wash off the spray and have seen no adverse reaction to the
trees from this mixture.

Best regards,

Carl
