I was told by Aaron Hicks that regular alcohol from walmart, etc. not only does not kill virus, but acts to stabilize the virus to keep it infectious. You would need the high purity alcohol (95%?) to do some good. I have to tell you that most of the plants that registered positive for virus showed no symptoms what so ever, so your plan of only treating tools for visibly poor looking plants is quite ineffectual. Only the very long time infected plants showed low vigor. But low vigor is not necessarily obvious as a problem.
