Radio Shack carries it, as would any of the dozens of electronic
supply companies such as Contact East.
More effective than alcohol? Probably. Alcohol is nice because it's
readily available and safe for most plastics (but not for plexiglas).
The same should be true for contact cleaner. Other easily available
substances like acetone are more likely to dissolve things.
I don't know what contact cleaner uses these days for active
ingredients. Back before it became non-PC, various freon-like
substances were used, and those work very well, but you're not allowed
to buy those anymore.
