HumminGuru say the provided solution doesn’t contain alcohol, so no worries there. However, alcohol isn’t your biggest problem. It is generally not recommended to use ultrasonic cleaners with shellac records, because they are more brittle than vinyl, and if they happen to have microscopic fissures, the ultrasonic process can extend them and can cause the record to crack.
HumminGuru advise against washing shellac records in their ultrasonic cleaners precisely for this reason.
