Hi Fina, Susie and All Concerned, The recommended cleaning agent for this sensor (Honeywell HOA-1405-2) is isopropanol (the main ingredient in rubbing alcohol) and is not as flammable as denatured alcohol, believe me it will not attract dust if left to dry or wiped with a clean cloth or dry Q-Tip before use. Methanol (the main ingredient in windshield washer fluid) is also recommended by the sensor manufacturer. Some denaturing agents combined with ethanol (good old grain alcohol) to make denatured alcohol can cause harm to the lens of the sensor or leave a film. Radio Shack has a contact cleaner pen (part number 64-4341 made with 100% isopropyl alcohol) that would also work. As would medical alcohol 91% available in bottle or swabs from most drug stores this type will evaporate faster.
