Sterilizing a glass spreader

[SWEngineer]

If I want to sterilize a glass spreader do I use alcohol for this purpose and then move the glass spreader across a flame after dipping it in alcohol to remove the excess alcohol?

Thanks.

what if you looked for aseptic techniques into your book? And then, if will you still have some questions you will put them all into one post?
