I'd rob a Nun at knife point for cash before I resorted to "Family cloths".
Mentally ill comes to mind before the word cheapskates to describe this pair, poor kids.
Yes it will, it is also toxic, not water-soluble, and will leave an oily residue. The 91 or higher percent isopropyl has an advantage in that it will force you to work a small area at a time, removes even deep oil from the wood, dries rapidly, leaves no residue, and will raise the grain so it can be knocked off even prior to steaming. It works fantastic with bronze wool making it easy to wash out between cleanings. I've been experimenting with Orange Turpentine (Citric terpene) as a cleaning solvent and while it does okay, I found it better when used as a cleaning mixed with 40% Orange Turpentine / 60% Polymerize Raw linseed oil.

It's washing the other laundry aspect that I find particularly unappealing.
I suppose people could invest in a second washing machine specifically for the "family cloths" ONLY.
In the good old days the hankerchiefs were boiled on top of the kitchen range to sterilize them.
No range hoods in those days either.
