Isopropyl Alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol, like acetone, dissolves a wide range of nonpolar compounds. It is also relatively nontoxic and evaporates quickly. Thus it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid.
Examples of isopropyl alcohol's use include cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape and disk heads, the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives and removing thermal paste from IC packages (such as CPUs.) It is also used to clean LCD and glass computer monitor screens at some risk to the anti-reflection coating of some screens. Isopropyl alcohol also works well for removing smudges, dirt, and fingerprints from cell phones and PDAs.
