Ordinary rubbing alcohol has 70% alcohol and 30% water in it. If you search,
some drug stores carry 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

This stuff is getting pretty rare, but it would be preferable if you can
find it. I used to see 99% isopropyl alcohol but haven't found any for
years. I keep looking, though.

90% is out there, but as said, tough to find. 99% sounds like
something from an industrial supplier.

As a caveat, one of the chains had a sale on rubbing alcohols a little
ways back, and one of them was 90% ethanol (denatured). However, the
other ingredients included methanol, acetone, and a few other things
which would make it useless for cleaning. I went with the 70% IPA,
because the only other ingredient was water.

Happy trails,
