I've recently been gifted a vintage sewing machine, a White Rotary 77 in table. Simple, straight stitch machine.

I'm flipping through the manual and see it recommends to be cleaned and degreased with kerosene. This feels dated?

I've taken a minute to look it up and not finding much for clarity, and I apologize if this has already been asked and I've missed it.

is this still the standard solvent for this task?

Is there a more current solvent that may be less of a fire hazard?

I'm seeing diluted vinegar recommended, and a high percentage isopropyl. Are these just as effective?

All input is appreciated :)
