The things you learn on this forum ... I had no idea that you can't get plain ol' rubbing alcohol in the UK! It's ubiquitous in the USA.
According to Wikipedia, the equivalent skin preparation in the UK is called "surgical spirit," which is a mixture of methanol and ethanol. I wouldn't think it would dry as quickly as isopropanol, but I googled it with "swimmer's ear" and found plenty of references to using surgical spirit (with or without vinegar added) to dry ear canals.

I have just ordered Mack's Dry-n-Clear, probably the same ingredient.
