    The answer is, it depends.

    Some lens cleaners are alcohol based, in and around 1:1 isopropyl:water, others contain no alcohol and instead use other solvents/cleaners.

    Have you tried reading the label?


    I use rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol on lens. In fact anyone working with electronics does. Say to clean something on a board you're repairing you would use alcohol as it's not conductive and removes grease. If you're mounting a heat sink to a processor you would first wipe the block of aluminum and processor die with alcohol before applying thermal paste.

    Also picked up a 500 mL bottle in my local pharmacy. They ordered it especially, ~2 days to arrive ~€17, should keep us going for a few years of electronics cleaning.

    Delivery as I recall was around €4.

    It might be harder to source than normal. You can turn it into hand sanatiser. Local pharmacies were sold out in march/april. Wholesale prices of alcohol went up too.
