I am wondering if denatured alcohol would be harmful. It's probably not as active a solvent as the CRC cleaner but it may be less risky. Anybody know for sure?
I found another site that recommends alcohol with instructions for cleaning.

I cleaned my MAF today with the CRC and was surprised at how quickly it evaporated. Job took a few minutes and I can tell a difference in engine performance. I didn't drive far enough to get a mileage comparison, though.

My 2003 SC430 turned 100,000 miles a month or so ago, and the screws on the MAF meter indicated they had been previously removed, so I assume it had been cleaned before. The cleaner did remove some debris.
