Can I use boot's surgical spirit (rubbing alcohol) to clean the internals in my laptop? Thanks!

The ingredients are (by weight) 90% ethanol, 5% methanol, + other ingredients (doesnt specify percents) methyl salicylate, ethyl phthalate and castor oil.

This is technically rubbing alcohol which I've heard is good for the job, but I'm just not sure about the ingredients besides ethanol?

Thanks very much for your help!

I am not sure I would want any OIL in my computer.

best to head to the drug store to get some with just alcohol and water(isopropyl alcohol).

This is not to say it would NOT work, but it seems oil from my hands is no good for thermal past so oil from my cleaner would be bad too? For other cleaning I bet it works great.
