 Alcohol is not advised as this just puts the greases and oils on the plate surface into solution, it doesn’t break them down or act as a surfactant, so they just mop around and remain behind on the plate as you wipe. Additionally PLA leaves behind sugar residues on the plate and sugars are unaffected by alcohol entirely. Wiping down with alcohol also implies you're using some wipe or towels, and like for drying, aren't recommended as they can contain conditioners and can leave micro fibers on the build plate contributing to further poor adhesion issues.
