Most commercial isopropyl alcohols are sold as
'rubbing' alcohol.  They contain some marginal
amount of glycerin to reduce the drying effect
that the alcohol has on your skin...  you thus
end up with a slimy film of glycerin on tape
path parts that you clean with these preparations.

The preferred stuff to use is pure methanol (the
stuff that can cause blindness when ingested).
And you should use a swab that will not leave
lint on whatever parts are being cleaned.
