70% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning plastic electronics

[someone92@hotmail.com]

Hi,
I would like to know if it's a bad idea to use 70% isopropyl rubbing
alcohol to clean platic computer screens and cases to remove smoke
stains. It's seems to work but is a good idea for a long period of
time, does it damage plastics?

Thanks in advance, and if you have any suggestions it could be useful.

Alcohol should not damage plastics. Clean the screen as recommended
by the manufacturer. Removing smoke can be a challenge.
