Why is isopropyl alcohol (propanol) reckoned by many people to be a better general cleaner around the house than the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) which is found in methylated spirits?
Thanks for any info.

FOOTNOTE:
I can add that here in the UK the main type of denatured alcohol we can buy for home use is "methylated spirits" and in the UK this is made up almost entirely of ethyl alcohol.
