Wikipedia now says, but WITHOUT any sources. Is it really safe for ALL eyeglasses or not??

"Solvent

Together with ethanol, n-butanol, and methanol, it belongs to the group of alcohol solvents.

Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used for cleaning eyeglasses, electrical contacts (what about other parts of electronics?), audio or video tape heads, DVD and other optical disc lenses, removing thermal paste from heatsinks on CPUs and other IC packages".

Naming discrepancy[edit]

Is there a reason this page is named Isopropyl alcohol instead of isopropanol like the Ethanol and Methanol pages? Magicalr2d2 (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is alcohol the best choice for cleaning inside a freeze dryer that is made of stainless steel? And does it kill all bacteria, germs, and viruses[edit]
