isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule).
If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules.
There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent will stick together. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent will stick together.
The closer the types of molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
