>>>  ...run the mite wash through a coffee filter sitting in a large mesh tea strainer over
a white 2 gallon bucket.  I can see the mites, reuse the alcohol a couple of times before it gets too cloudy...

Question:  If you filter your alcohol wash through a paper coffee filter, does it matter how cloudy it gets?  Wouldn't the mite kill, mite wash action be the same for clear alcohol and cloudy alcohol?  Using the filter you wouldn't care how cloudy the alcohol is as long as it does the kill/wash action.
