Yes! Rubbing alcohol (Or isopropyl, if that's more your thing) is like a magic cleansing solution to your electronics, once, I fixed an iPod just by shaking it around in a tub of rubbing alcohol!

Just be sure that its all dry, go over it with a microfiber cloth, my iPod that I talked about, I didn't dry it off, and it was corroded on the inside, so just dry everything of so its nice and good!

 

 

 

P.S. rubbing alcohol evaporates extremely fast in open areas, so keep that in mind.
