In general i found ethanol better than IPA for cleaning stuff. While it  
does solve the same things IPA seems to leave more residue.
Ethanol (denatured alcohol) is also more commonly sold around here,  
although i would get both at the place where i buy it. The price is  
similar i think.
And in my opinion ethanol smells better.
