Tips & Warnings
Do not use tap or spring water to dilute the alcohol as it contains salts and can leave behind a residue.
Do not use paper towels to dry your plastic because it can scratch the surface.
If you are cleaning an electronic item, such as a computer, be sure to turn it off, or unplug it because the liquid could cause an electrical shock or a malfunction.
