i clean carbs and throttle body with brake cleaner.. Works perfect for me (safe on sensors as its totally silicone and film free).. Carb cleaner will of course be that much better but i never have it laying around.

...will probably be contradicted by someone though!

don't think either of those are good for lambda sensors, think you need to use alcohol (IPA)
