Gad no don't use alcohol!
Use some 409 or degreasing agent. Alcohol (the isopropyl type) dries out mylar and will make it brittle.
Just replace the head. Problem solved!

I'd just say don't worry so much about the cosmetics of it and play the thing.

We need to have words about you using the snare as a dinner table!
