While the cleaning cycle will start without the station protesting, the solution will foam up a lot, causing some pressure buildup inside the cartridge and will likely make a mess too.

The rubbing alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl) that you buy from a drugstore is also denatured and the denaturing agents can and are most likely different than the ones used in the SD Alcohol 40 B. Many thanks for your comment.

Sorry about this being so long. Thanks, Ovidiu.
