isopropyl alcohol vs. alcohol denat wipes

Hi all!


Are disenfectant wipes containing 70% “alcohol denat.” safe to use on your iPhone? I note that Apple recommends using a “70% isopropyl alcohol wipe” and I’m wondering if there is any difference between isopropyl and denatured alcohol?


Many thanks!

iPhone XR, iOS 13
