Why Isopropyl Alcohol is used widely within the electronics industry and other industries as the best means of cleaning and why and where you should use it to.
I worked for British Airways up until recently, and we used lots of that stuff on many various bit of equipment including the back of seat LCD displays handsets and such like. Great stuff.
"It's safe unless you're stupid." Why do I feel like I'm being called out? "Oh, I set my hamster on fire while cleaning." Now I'm definitely being called out.
Glad I found this video, I have a radio out of a JCB thats caked in dust so much, it refuses to turn on. A good clean with that stuff should increase its chances of coming back to life. Thank you for posting this video up..
I use IPA for almost everything. Specially CDs/DVDs/Blu Rays. But, on TVs theres actually an anti glare treatment on screens. Sometimes it can actually remove it. Other than that, it works.
@@MattEliteStorm hard to imagine but when i was getting clean i went to a rehab place and they banned all forms of iso alchohaul and mouthwash was very much policed. i guess if your really in a bad way almost anything will do the trick. mine was a meth addiction so it wasnt my concern but i can see why they do it. nothing quite as bad as picking through grass and gravel for the VERY unlikely chance of finding a "special" rock though. embarrising is an understatment.
Hey there Great video I use Medical Grade 70% isopropyl alchohol and have cleaned my Xbox One S I have had for a couple years and it looks brand new inside and out and it works like it's new💯😊
Nice! Just used it to clean my ps4 about an hour ago, along with a controller. I was all worried about the off /on button getting too much spray on the ps4, but it didn't... All good. I was also worried I used too much on the controller. I may have, but it still works fine.
Okay, but... qué trapo debería usar con él y cuál es la manera recomendable de hacerlo. Otra duda, ¿puede usarse en RAM o cualquier otro chip electrónico, además de la placa base?
ive used that exact one since your previous video about cleaning TV screen...never looked back...this stuff is brilliant....and always handy when trying to clean off that pesky chicken juice.......
Also make sure there’s no protective coating on the surface you’re spraying it on. Like an iPhone, GoPro and some eyeglasses. It probably won’t hurt the surface, but it’ll rub off the coating
@@goncalolopes7513 I don’t know. But I think there’s some coating on Apple Watches and GoPro that wicks off the water immediately, I never tried it on the phone though. The last time I tried “washing” the old XS, it made the phone phone very clean, but also very broken🤣🤣 Joking aside, I do spray with alcohol over in a while, but mostly I just use antiseptic hand wipes to clean it.
@@user-bx2vf6ib5n I would try other non corrosive cleaners before using alcohol. But I do use alcohol quite a lot on inexpensive (non camera / phone) glass and bathroom ceramic surfaces, so I always have a bottle near by.
I use IPA when I’m soldering but have never used it on monitor or TV screens. Is it definitely safe to use on screens as some have an anti glare coating. I.e my Panasonic Plasma TV has this coating! I usually use Vinegar & water on my screens which works well!
Good information . My vose qc35ll turns onn even if the Switch is in off position and I saw a video cleaning the switch with 91% IA . Just wanna confirm ll it ve good for the switch . Regards
Hi, i am currently rejuvenating an old 1970s pioneer amp and i think isopropyl alcohol might be the safest way to go. The pc boards are severely covered with dust, i will blow of what i can, and than spray on the alcohol and use a brush to clean it. Thats the plan anyway, and replacing all the big caps
The store guy who installed my screen protector sprayed alcohol on my switchlite ..front and back..i can't recall if she sprayed alcohol on the top of my switch. my deepest fear is if any alcohol got into the unit via the card slot. i had a game inserted at the time and as far as i recall the slot was closed.. do i need to worry about my cartridge and inside of the slot???
I have an ~30 year old Swiss army knife that the blades and utilities became so stiff to open it was nothing more the the toothpick and tweezers but I’ve always had it in my pocket. I wrenched all of the blades/etc. open last Thursday, blew it out with a computer spray duster (air can), then took some 70% Isopropanol and a couple of quetips and wiped all clean. Note! The isopropanol began to react with the red plastic grips, they became tacky until it evaporated so keep it off of the grips! I then lubricated the whole thing with 3 in1 oil, wrapped it in a paper towel over nite to absorb the excess oil and, Viola, it opens and operates as it did brand new. Also note that after all these years it has never been sharpened and after cutting open hundreds of corrugated brown taped boxes at home and at work it is still very sharp!
What if your intention is to strip down the paint to the bare wood on your acoustic guitar . I need something that's very powerful cuz I've already sanded the hell out of my acoustic then I stained it Black but I got a new acoustic so now I'm experimenting I want to take all of the paint off of my project acoustic and then I was going to take a blow torch and torch the wood so it gives it a brownish burnt looking color . Everything I've tried on my acoustic I have severely messed up like using a power sander instead of doing it by hand I left some pretty big gashes , I don't really want to send because of the gashes I've left in it so I figured the best possible outcome would be to take all the paint off so it's bare wood and then torch it so all the gases that are in it doesn't matter I'm trying to make it look like a rotten piece of wood, or give it that vintage look.. any suggestions?
Hi Bob, great video but I’d be extremely grateful if you could please make one dedicated to using Isopropyl alcohol to clean Plasma TV with plastic screens? Many thanks.
I agree that isopropyl alcohol has been a great cleaner for removing dust and grease from most plastic and even painted surfaces - I use it all the time for the right surfaces. That being said, I have a problem with some sort of "rubbery" surfaces. It's a puzzle to me. I have two examples: (1) On my laptop there are two places, on either side of the keypad below the keyboard, also the buttons at the top of the keypad, where the surface is sort of rubbery feeling. I don't know if that's meant to be (It's a refurbished [used} computer, so it's old.) or if it's an accumulation of dust and grease from previous owners. The keyboard area abuts these surfaces; there is a seam between the two different surfaces -- the keyboard is hard, shiny and smooth, next to it, the not so smooth panels with dust and lint adhered to them. Anyway, that surface just gets sticky when I try to wipe it again with alcohol. I don't know if I need to keep rubbing more to get down through layers and remove the sticky surface or if I'm just making the stickiness go deeper into some unusual sort of substance. [Also note: the bottom edge of those panels on both sides is smooth as if from hands resting there as one would rest their hands when not typing.] (2) I have a great flashlight that gets stickier and stickier the more I try to clean it with isopropyl alcohol. I have used a cotton ball, cotton fabric, paper towel -- no matter what the sticky surface just grabs the fibers of the cotton or paper and feels stickier and stickier. I've tried other household cleaners (409 type stuff) and get the same result. I even tried cleaning that flashlight with Goo Gone, it was just as bad. I can't get that stickiness to go away. I finally have wrapped the flashlight in tee-shirt fabric so I can stand to handle it. The fabric almost adheres as if it were glued on! It seems as though the surface has softened to a sticky mess after alcohol cleaning. Any ideas ?
I think I know exactly what you are talking about. Certain rubberized surfaces oxidize and become tacky. Dell was REALLY bad with this on some of their laptops. You have to soak it and scrape off the top few layers. That will help for awhile but it will happen again. If it is something you intend to keep I would suggest throwing a vinyl wrap on it to try to prevent further breakdown of the surface.
I have bought today a PS4 PRO and it has sticker residue because its last owner had stickers on it and wanted to remove them when selling it. The thing is... It has glue residue on it. My question, Will this product easily remove the glue residue? And more important, Will this product leave any stains on the Playstation? Hugs from Portugal!!!
Chicken juice? Why are you juicing chickens?!? I use 91 percent isopropyl alcohol to clean all sorts of electronics, and discs, have been for years. Never had a single problem. If the industry uses it, then it's the right stuff to use. Period.
This stuff goes with solder like strawberries and cream go together. There isn't a single electronics lab on Earth that doesn't have several bottles of it. There's a good reason for that.
Thanks for this video it was very helpful I cleaned my board on a vintage radio and then I found out you can't use 70% but it was isopropyl so this video helped my anxiety thank you
can I put my electric shavers blade into a cup full of isopropyl alcohol for cleaning? Will that alone do the job, or should I buy the brand’s cleaning apparatus to do this?
A capital video! I have an 8bitdo SN30 Pro controller where the A button has been sticking for about a week. It occasionally sticks, and doesn't pop out unless I pull it up. This may just be the solution without having to take it apart. My only gripe is the scream at the beginning, sir. Although its quite the laugh. XD
Perpex or acrylic will crack at the edges from IPA - but other than that it is a great cleaner - we used it on ion beam implanters for Intel on every part of the machine you can imagine except alcohol based printing.
If you dropped your phone in water, do you think that a way to remove the water would be to soak it in IPA - displace it with the IPA and then the IPA will evaporate quickly - what do you reckon?
I wouldnt recommend it. Some parts are glued and the alcohol could soften and dislodge those parts. I ruined the home button on an old iPhone because of overzealous cleaning with 99% IPA.
I agree with almost everything you said but I wouldn't be comfortable using it on a TV, it probably would be fine if it was in a spray bottle, watered down. I'm not 100% sure I would have to test it. As for cleaning computer parts, it is safe to use a few times as long as it's switched off when cleaning but I don't recommend using it all the time unless you just cleaning the CPU, because it is corrosive. If it's not too dirty I recommend using compressed air, it would be safer.
IPA is awesome for cleaning electronics, but also good in dissolving some adhesives including the stuff that keeps your phone waterproof and keeps the screen on its place. So kinda be carefull if you are not trying to disassemble your phone!
Exposure time is very important here though i can dip my phone in and out of 99% IPA with no lasting damage, if i do that 50 times over then you have a point. I feel people could be more specific when covering these points as sometimes people take everything to the letter. Don't panic people your screens will survive a wipe every now and then just don't bathe it in IPA or pool it on the surface/edges when doing so. Otherwise this comment is correct and you'll cause lasting damage.
Hello sir! I bought a 250ml Isop Alc online. They sent to me (nature divine's) 98.5%. Now I'm scared and not sure if this is good to clean my GPU Quadro P2000. Need help..
i currently try to clean a M! Macbook that had ice'd tea spilled over it. It was till working fine for like a year but now the back light most of the times isn't on, so sometimes it works. same with the touch bar, sometimes it was on. I haven't got a Torx 3 yet, but i tried to clean it from the inside as good as possible. there is no corrosion, just some sticky residue but not much. But the isoprop dissolved some of the black stuff on the battery. normally it is mat but now this spot is shiny 😅 Also i feel like the alcohol can't really clean of the leftovers. do i need to use water??? Saw a video on youtube where someone simply used water and a toothbrush 😅 I have an reverse osmosis so i can get really clean water, almost distilled level quality. Still feels weird with so expensive electronics. I hope it simply works again once i am able to remove the main board completely and clean of all the connectors. maybe i find something that explains this weird behavior on the backside 🤔touch bar
I'm more interested in seeing if it's okay to clean up a battery. I've got one that isn't charging my friend says she got ice cream on it. So it's not like it's worth anything but I might as well fix it to save 5 or 10 dollars
The protective layer of a screen can be damaged even by isopropyl. You'd want to use a lower percent like the 70% he has and not to drown it, apply it to your towel (so that it dries quickly off the screen).
Laughter is medicine comes from an old proverb by Solomon the wisest man who ever lived. The one about snot was really good.

I feel better haha Jaja as we say in Spanish thank you sir

For LCD displays I'd recommend the RS Pro Isopropyl Alcohol Cleaner. It's a much higher purity, I think >90% than regular IPA.

Thanks i was just looking for the greenlight on 70% i wasnt sure if that was enough for cleaning electronics
So it won't ruin any protective coating? What about glasses with anti glare coating? I mix it with distilled water.

Does it remove acyrlic conformal coating?
Use it all the time for cleaning thermal paste and firearms. Works great.
It would be good for cleaning car windows in the snow so you don’t get stuck scraping your glass
Cleaning thermal paste is a pain in the rump
Good for dry earse boards as well. It won't strip the coating off a white board either and cleans it well.

In the youtube studio side of things, you can clip out the scream portion of the video.
The protective layer of a screen can be damaged even by isopropyl. You'd want to use a lower percent like the 70% he has and not to drown it, apply it to your towel (so that it dries quickly off the screen).
Dose it remove scratches
Laughter is medicine comes from an old proverb by Solomon the wisest man who ever lived. The one about snot was really good. Thumbs up and hats off as I wanted to be cautious before cleaning and Old chip for my phone and it seems to have done a good job. Good job and thanks for the laughs. I feel better haha Jaja as we say in Spanish thank you sir

Workers at my job have recently been given spray bottles of this. Im experiencing chest pain, I'm forgetting stuff, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Could this be why
I've been meticulously cleaning a 200 watt valve amp all week with it. Getting real close up so I can get into those hard to see nooks and crannies.No such problems for me.
How ya doing buddy? It’s been a couple years. You ok bro?
I spray this in my work boots, haven't smelled since I started doing it.
I just cleaned my inside shoes with %99 U.S.P, then fabric air wick, it works.
I used Methanol and Ethanol 70% to clean my keyboard. Some of my keys were dead. I pour alcohol in, use an old toothbrush. There were some stuffs, dust stuck in my keyboard. Then my keyboard works like new again. it saved a lot of money.
Do you use methanol I'm a fume hood? Methanol vapors are definitely something you never want to breath in; not even a little bit.
