Or maybe, and hear me out, I googled it, multiple sources are telling me that you have to use 90% or higher for obvious reasons, and now you're just being annoying so I'm going to keep rubbing it in your face because it's fun.

Using IPA 99% On Computers
IPA 99% is safe and effective for consumer use to clean personal computers and electronic devices.
Isopropyl Alcohol 99% is the best substance to use for this purpose. Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 91% may also be effective, but it is best to use the purest IPA available.

Can I Use It to Clean My Devices? It's best to avoid using any isopropyl mixture below 90% on circuit boards and other electrical bits. If you're simply cleaning the adhesive off something metal or plastic, 70% might do in a pinch, but you'll want to be sure not to spill it onto circuits or wires.


You thinking that your personally using it and nothing bad happening means it's fine is like me mixing 10% dirt into my cooking and thinking it's fine because nothing bad happened.
