Chosen Solution
I decided to clean my iPhone during the weekend due to water damage and how some parts may be damaged. Since I don’t have isopropyl alcohol I was wondering if surgical spirit or rubbing alcohol will do the same job?
Mary “Novalliez” Owen, I believe they may be the same. What you want when cleaning electronics is the high percentage 90% or more, because of the high evaporation rate that will not harm electronics like lower percentage 70% may. See the link below for more explanation. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubbing_al…
Rubbing alcohol can be made from isopropyl alcohol or surgical spirits. I would not use rubbing alcohol because you can’t be too sure of what is mixed in or even isopropyl found at regular stores due to the pureness of the alcohol. You should get 99% pure isopropyl alcohol to be safe when cleaning your logic board. You can find it at most electronics store, it’s not expensive.
Before you go splashing anything on the phone just make sure its “at least” 99% alcohol :) if you are using surgical spirit; i think its 99% but look around the bottle just to be sure. the reason behind this is that alcohol evaporates. do not splash anything on that is not 99% alcohol or you might have a sad phone ;)
Do not go to pharmacy, GO TO ELECTRONICS STORE AND ASK FOR CLEANING FLUID FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IT THE BEST THING TO DO!!
Isn’t Rubbing Alcohol used to treat infections?
