Beats isopropyl alcohol  99%
I've always been told to just use rubbing alcohol when removing thermal paste from the integrated heat spreader (IHS). After doing some research, I ran across ArctiClean and decided to purchase it.<br /><br />- 1st, use 99% isopropyl alcohol wipe(s) to remove most of the thermal paste.<br />- 2nd, apply kit 1 to remove any residual thermal paste that is left over. It's a tad bit oily and smells like citrus.<br />- 3rd, use another 99% isopropyl alcohol wipe to remove any leftover oils, from kit 1.<br />- 4th, take a very soft cloth, which it comes with, to remove any dried up isopropyl alcohol.<br />- 5th, apply kit 2, purifier, and spread it across the integrated heat spreader.<br />- 6th, wipe off kit 2, purifier, with a soft cloth.<br />- 7th, which is the final step, apply your new thermal paste, and you're good to go!<br /><br />The thermal paste sticks to the integrated heat spreader, and it doesn't go anywhere. Amazing product!
