Is it possible to clean ICs with Pure Alcohol ?

Boardburner2:
deonised or distilled water should work for that depending what the dust is and you thouroughly dry it.
does nnot an air blast work ?

i dont have one,
i have the normal hair dryer which won't work

but anyway what i did is take a cup put some pure alcohol the one you can use on injuries or for cleaning and put some in the cup and after i threw the shifts inside and then take them out and dry it with tissue and left it to fully dry in the normal air
