John Dablin noted:

<<<Isopropyl alcohol is widely used to clean tape heads, floppy disk heads
and
the like. I've used it in the past to clean vinyl LPs, an idea I got from a
hi-fi magazine. It's excellent at dissolving greasy dirt, but it's always
seemed pretty inert in contact with plastics. I've never tried it on a
mouthpiece, though.>>>

I have always purchased my isopropyl alcohol in plastic bottles. Methinks
it unlikely that there is any chemical interaction between the alcohol &
plastic -- otherwise they certainly wouldn't package that way.
