Yeah, rubbing alcohol would work (I think the standard concentration is ~70% isopropanol). It's also in a variety of cleaners, I think Windex and Lysol both usually contain isopropanol. In cell culture labs 70% ethanol is the standard disinfectant, so vodka would work in a pinch. :-D Bleach is another good one--absolutely no way to resist that! I'd say bleach is the gold standard. There's also hydrogen peroxide, though.
I'm sure vinegar works too for many bacteria, it's acidic.
I try not to go into anti-germ overkill, but these are good if you get raw meat on a countertop or need to clean up cat excrement (Yippee!)
