Hi

I can’t say weither it’s safe or not but from what the ingredients says I would probably stay away from it as it has oil in it and that may cause it to be a pain to get the adhesive to stick to the case when you put a new battery in

I can recommend 99% isopropyl alcohol though,that is know for being Amazing with electronic devices and is a wonderful cleaner

Hopefully this helps

Any questions please ask

Thanks:-)

Thanks, I was finding it near impossible to get even the smallest bottle of 99% IPA without extortionate shipping fees but luckily after a renewed google search i found a local FX store that has some. cheers
