Title:

Is it Safe to use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean cartridges?

Text:

I want to clean the contact points on my old NES Carts.  I thought to do this with a little bit of Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) and a Q-Tip, or perhaps a micro-fiber cloth.

I don't think this would damage the board, but the NES Carts have a label on the back that tell you not to do this so I am a bit hesitant to try it.
