We need to regularly clean and disinfect our sound equipment as part of our facility's Covid-19 protocol.   We plan to use alcohol wipes (isopropanol or ethanol) (e.g., https://www.clorox.com/products/clorox-disinfecting-wipes/crisp-lemon/).  I'd like to confirm that these are safe to use in terms of not damaging the material of the mixer or the graphics printed on it.

No, you should just a very lightly damp micro fibre cloth.

Using micro fibre cloth won't qualify as a medical disinfection which is usually needed with Covid-19 Protocols.

Ethanol may be a not-so-good idea since it can damage plastic parts. Isoprop is used in most professional equipment cleaning liquids, but there is no guarantee until Presonus checks that.
