It is to fit Command hanging hooks which specify clean with alcohol

Meths.



Meths is crap for pretty much anything.

IPA is reasonably decent as a weak solvent and readily available.

Carbon TetraChloride was the ******** but you won't get that anymore
('cos it gives you cancer**)

I have three Commander hooks stuck on to three gloss painted doors. They
have not fallen off in the past 6 years.
I used meths to clean the doors where the hooks were going to be.
That is good enough for me.
