Alternative Brake Cleaner?

Blondie919 · 2014-01-17 15:38:50

I'm out of brake cleaner but have a can of carburettor & throttle plate cleaner. Can I use this to clean the discs? I got it from a bike shop ages ago and the mechanic gave it to me coz he was out of disc cleaner. I haven't used it yet coz I'm wondering if it's safe to use. Anyone know??

My brake cleaner says contains xylene and degreases so if it has any of that stuff or mentions degreaser it should be grand.
