If alcohol isn't a good idea, white vinegar or
dilute ammonia could also work. Ammonia is the world's best peneyrant as far as
I'm concerned. But to get into deep crevaces and crannies it needs time. Sometimes 24

The traditional stuff pre-Montreal Accords was usually Freon TF or
similar chloroflourocarbon with perhaps some isopropanol mixed in. At
least that's what my big bottle of Xerox floppy cleaning liquid claims.
I suspect that some type of ether may also be suitable. I've largely
taken to cleaning tape heads with heptane--doesn't seem to bother
plastics any.
