You can use any 10% isopropyl alcohol solution or 10% bleach solution. I use pure apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle to simply spray the shears between cuts.

Dennis, which alcohol? Ethanol, methanol, isopropyl?

Are you saying "10% bleach or 10% alcohol?"

Always, disinfect pruning tools by dipping them for at least 30 seconds in 10% bleach or alcohol after each cut (spray disinfectants that contain at least 70% alcohol can also be used). Burn or bury diseased branches.
