HFE7100 is better than aceton
and cotton bud is not good - usually it bleached with chemicals which could stay on platters

You need to use Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) (try to get 99+ percent pure.)

You can also get clean-room swabs which are near-sterile and leave no trace.

However, do not use compressed air to dry; use another, clean swab and evaporation.
