Yes, isoprope is obviously poisonous and very dangerous to drink.
But we are not drinking it.
It has the advantage that it dissolves organic contamination, like
fingerprints.
I believe it evaporates completely and leaves very little residue.
Here is a specification for alcohol residue. It may not apply to the
regular drug store isoprope we use, but it gives an idea of how well
alcohol evaporates:
"(e) Limit of non-volatile residue:"
"Evaporate 40 ml in a tared dish on a waterbath, and dry at 105°C
for 1 hour. The weight of the residue should not exceed 1 mg."

There may be stabilizers in the isoprope, such as peroxide. I don't
think they present a contamination problem, but if anyone has better
information, please post it.
We also have to be careful about the kind of wiping pad to use. I
believe paper bleached with chlorine may contain some salt residue.
Even a small amount might be a significant source of contamination,
so I use unbleached tissue and discard it after use.
Even the sweat from our hands can be a problem. It contains salt,
and a small amount transferred to the rods could cause a significant
reduction in the resulting ppm.
Remember, we are working with very small concentrations of silver
ions - perhaps 10 to 20 ppm. It doesn't take much contamination to
have a significant effect.
