Either degreases. White spirit is more toxic.

I would have thought white spirit would leave a residue ?

Other way around - white spirit leaves no residue or smell once it's
evaporated, but being much less volatile, that takes much longer,
and it stinks more until it's evaporated.
Your alcohol will have additives to make it toxic and to colour it,
and these leave residues. (Pure ethanol wouldn't, but you can't buy
that without paying lots of duty.)

Isopropanol from RS Components or a similar supplier?

surgical spirit is ethanol adulterated with methanol but without the
purple dye.

Although it has other alduterants to make it a bit more 'medical'

Isopropyl is always the best bet for degreasing.

Why don't winos drink it, as it's less toxic than meths?
