Isopropyl .Alcohol

[sammy13]

As as use for cleaning ego style batteries, charges etc do you use this at the 99.9%?

Also what else can it clean?

I presuming not drip tips unless you dilute it as it is toxic?

It's an alcohol, so toxic if you ingest it, but wont make anything you clean toxic, but I'm no chemist. I clean metal contacts and steel wicks with it, don't see why you couldn't use it diluted for drip tips there is some in the record cleaner I use, but soap or milton etc probably more appropriate. It's not too strong, you may get some fumes if you spill it and it doesn't seem to damage plastic. Round the house I use for cleaning removing marker pen, getting the nic stains off stuff like computer monitors I've had for ages, grease in the kitchen, biro leek in shirt pocket, removing glue ... must stuff off hard surfaces & good for cleaning before gluing hard surfaces as it degreases and any moisture evaporates.

Fumes aren't the greatest to inhale so best to ventilate when using. It can damage rubber especially if left too long so careful with orings.

Thanks guys thought I may as well buy a big tub of it but wasnt sure if I'd got the wrong strength for cleaning household things or a glass clearo

Good for glass, bit like cleaner meths.

I also buy the Iso Alc wipes normally sold for cleaning wounds. Great for cleaning screens (laptops, tablets, phones, tellys), spectacles, getting the sticky stuff off where labels have been, removing superglue from fingers

Oh, and e-cig stuff including battery terminals

I've got the wipes and the liquid, it's just that the wipes are so handy when you just need a lil bit. And you can throw a couple in your pocket/handbag/vapetote when you go out

[VapingBad]

I get 500 ml and fill a 50 ml squeezy juice bottle for ease of use as mostly you only need a little.

[taz96]

I'll get some then. I've never been sure what to clean screens with.

It can smudge or remove some inks and the paint they fill the lazer etching on FT clones so be a bit careful.

Have you ever tried it on those white plastic window ledges, and frames?

No, but have on plenty of similar plastic and wiping down should be no problem, just some cheaper print on hard surfaces (the stuff that would ware off sooner or later) can come off.  The manufactures name printed on my computer screen frames has been cleaned loads of times and it's fine.
