Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), more commonly known as rubbing alcohol or isopropanol, is a general-purpose cleaner that can kill bacteria and degrease without being harmful to sensitive electrical components, or even human skin. It’s a very versatile cleaning solution that is used in many industrial applications, as well as in the medical industry to ensure there is a clean, bacteria-free and grease-free surface to work with. Isopropyl alcohol cleaner can be used on a wide variety of products like:

PCBs
Electronics and electronic components
Connectors
Fibre optics
LCD panels

Yes, the isopropyl solution is flammable and contains alcohol, so it is important to ensure the solution is kept away from heat sources or sources of ignition. The solution has got an odour to it to ensure over-exposure is monitored when using it, especially in poorly ventilated areas.

Always read the material safety data sheet (MSDS) before using
Keep product away from heat, sparks and open flames
Use in a well-ventilated area
Wear protective clothing
The cleaner evaporates quickly so ensure the lid or top is kept tightly closed when not in use

1. Before using the IPA cleaner (rubbing alcohol) test the material or surface to be cleaned to ensure it is a suitable product and will not damage
2. Clean the surface by wiping it down to remove dust
3. Dampen a cloth or cotton bud with the cleaning fluid, or spray using a spray bottle
4. Clean the surface taking care not to leave any pools of solution
5. The surface to be cleaned can also be immersed gently then the solution is allowed to evaporate
