Isopropyl Alcohol Swabs

The age-old criticism about using isopropyl alcohol is that it destroys the pinch roller "rubber".

In my fairly lengthy time of doing tape recording, I have not seen this to be the case. Rather, it seems to be a method for companies to sell branded cleaners.

I suppose it "could" happen, but my observation and experience is that it's not an issue.

What do you use, and what are its solvent/cleaner components?
