My SanDisk 128GB MicroSD isn't working.
I want to clean it but I don't know what to use.
Can I use this hand gel sanitizer and put it on cotton?
Is this a good question?

@aabdllhm - What are you cleaning? Just the plastic shell or the contacts?
Isopropyl alcohol is a safe solvent no matter the percentage. The risk is what else is within it.
Hand sanitizers often have a gel and perfume component which will create streaks and interfere with the signals on the contact
If you are trying to clean for viruses or other germ issue I would just use a reagent quality isopropyl alcohol 80~90% is just fine. For just dirt I find off the shelf kitchen or window cleaner will work followed up with a wipe of isopropyl alcohol to clean off the last bit.

I'm cleaning both plastic and contacts, I have 70% isopropyl alcohol so no problem right?
@aabdllhm - That should work! Test it on a clean glass plate a few drops is all you need, let it evaporate, did it leave a film? If it did you’ll want to use a damp cloth with water to clean the residual.
