this is true; however we must be very careful to explain the common $1.00 bottle of rubbing alcohol is not the stuff to be used! the common rubbing alcohol is like 50% water and other ingredients you dont want lingering in a motherboards cpu socket.

the stuff you get at drug stores that over 90% pure is the one you want; it will evaporate when done cleaning.

myself; I prefer goof-off the paint remover .......but any high solvent cleaner will do the trick as long as it evaporates completely and quickly without residue
