Best Answer

When used rubbing alcohol is a fairly safe cleaning agent. The main problem its effectiveness as a solvent, sometimes it will destroy the item when trying to clean the item. It is not for some surface.

Rubbing alcohol should always be used in a well ventilated area. Keep rubbing alcohol away from painted surfaces, shellac, lacquer, and some man made fabrics.
