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.
