Important note about the purity of the Alcohol Isopropyl wipes are commonly available for uses such medical needs, computer screen cleaners or glasses cleaners. However most of these only have a purity between 70%-80% and contain other ingredients such as water or perfumes which are damaging to strings. The Leatherwood Rosin wipes are the highest purity available, 99%, which means no other chemical residue will be left on the string once the alcohol evaporates away.
