Benzene or other rubber-cement thinners might work about as well as anything on
the rubber rollers. I use the SpotShot becuse it's readily available, and I
doubt I'll use it often enough to hurt things much. The main purpose for which
I use it, other than removing routine spills from my light-colored carpeting, is
removing those stick-on labels and price tags that come off with such
difficulty. It works very well for that, though it smells very unpleasant.

Spot Shot is probably like the old Carbona spot
remover and has a solvent
that swells and softens the surface, much like MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)
does. Bad thing is that prolonged use causes the rubber/neoprene to get hard
and crumbly over time. I've cleaned typewriter/daisy wheel printer platens
with MEK int he past and it works very well for a couple years.
