Would it be okay to use 91% alcohol for EP cleaning? I check the local pharmacies and 91% is the highest they have. Any comments and / or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. smile

It does work, though it is wise to make sure there are no perfumes etc added.

However distilled water with a drop of dish soap works quite nicely, I just cleaned several last night using distilled water and dish soap. Make sure you use a lens brush to clean the dust off first, then I use a Q-tip a la TeleVue and Al Nagler.
