No, NO!, a thousand times NO!
NEVER use Isopropanol for cleaning records... YOU WILL DO DAMAGE!
It may not be immediately obvious, but you will.
Ethyl alcohol (the drinking kind) has been used on vinyl discs in the past
but contrary to others, it is not recommended for that either.
FYI, alcohol dissolves the shellac surface used in many 78 rpm phonograph
discs and essentially destroys them.
