For cleaning, water, or water and a little Formula 409 is fine. If you
want to use the same cleaner on the heads and the roller, Head, Red, and
Roll cleaner from Precision Motor Works is some sort of halocarbon which
behaves pretty much the way old Freon TF did. It's a lot more expensive
than isopropanol, though.


Water and isopropan2ol for me. There's some good technical 'detergents' out
there for stubborn stuff too.


Isopropanol will damage natural rubber. It won't hurt urethane and it won't
hurt neoprene, so on most things i'll be fine but occasionally you'll find
something where it's not so good.
