Nail varnish remover or methylated spirit

I use "Akasa TIM-clean CPU & heatsink cleaner". It can be found for under £4 delivered and lasts for years and years. No need for wasting vodka or other household materials.

Nail Varnish Remover, especially in a household with 2 females who regularly stock up on it.

You obviously havn't got the technique down like I have then

Propan-2-ol [or IsoPropyl Alcohol as it is more commonly known] as it flashes off quickly enough as to not leave residues !

And use lint free cloths.
