Pure isopropyl is a pretty decent cleaner for electrical contacts as it dissolves residue and evaporates quickly.
The problem with rubbing alcohol is that it isn't pure isopropyl, it has water mixed in which can cause problems for electronics and cause corrosion.
If you have to use rubbing alcohol try and get the highest percentage isopropyl you can. I believe standard is 70% but you can buy 91%.
