Alcohol should be allowed to dry for how long when cleaning the site?

30 to 60 seconds
15 to 30 seconds
60 to 90 seconds
5 to 10 seconds

The correct answer is: 30 to 60 seconds

When using alcohol to clean, it is important to allow enough time for it to dry before proceeding. Option A, 30 to 60 seconds, is the best choice because it allows enough time for the alcohol to effectively sanitize the area. Options B and D are too short and may not fully clean the site, while option C is too long and may evaporate too much of the alcohol. It is important to follow the instructions for specific cleaning products to ensure proper sanitation.
