I use naptha as a good general purpose solvent, and resort to paint

Which one?

Using paint stripper is probably overkill for contact cleaning. All
those mentioned are hazardous in some manner. All of those mentioned
will eat plastics. However, when desperate, I use automotive brake
cleaner (hexane, xylene, ethyl benzene, toluene, methyl alcohol, etc).
Unfortunately, it's almost as toxic and also eats plastic.
