methylated spirits
Toxic cleaning solvent
Methylated spirits is denatured alcohol—ethanol mixed with methanol and other additives to make it undrinkable and thus exempt from liquor taxes.
Used as a solvent, fuel for camp stoves, and cleaning agent.
Also called methylated spirit or simply meths.
The term is more common in British, Australian, and South African English than American.
