Can you sterilize a pedicure blade by rubbing it with alcohol?

Rubbing a pedicure knife with alcohol will not disinfect it.
Alcohol kills different bacteria and viruses inactivation time required is not exactly the same, generally speaking, so that the alcohol on the surface of the object can stay a few minutes to kill most of the pathogenic microorganisms.
Note that the object surface disinfection to choose the concentration of 75% of the medical alcohol, too high or too low are not. Because the high concentration of alcohol will form a protective film on the surface of bacteria or viruses, preventing their entry into the bacterial body, it is difficult to kill bacteria completely. If the alcohol concentration is too low although it can enter the bacteria, but can not solidify the proteins in its body, the same can not completely kill the bacteria.
Pedicure knife 75% alcohol, knives immersed in it, be sure to submerge, 30 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection.
