Rubbing alchohol contains goodies like lanoline or aloe which leaves a

looking for high reliability. My local electronics store carries the
electronics grade of isopropanol.

For some things I remove flux with a spray can of carburetor cleaner.
It is a mix of Toluene, Acetone and Methanol. I bough a bunch of cans at
a dollar store. There are other automotive cleaners that have more
alcohol in them. I think some brands of disk brake cleaner may be mostly
alcohol. I will have to dig into the stash in my shop to take a look the
next time I can spend some time there.
