So many people have posted that, but so far no one has been able to back it up in any way...
Pull some of these cans and look at their labels...
Then we can have a discussion,
Ok, I'll read the cans I have when I get home. I'll post up what I find.

Ok, here is what I found. You can use brake cleaner, carb cleaner, or throttle body cleaner as long as it is Non-Chlorinated. This is the chemical that will break down any plastic and will leave afilm on the hot wires. So in all jasonvri is correct.

The Chlorinated brake cleaner won't break down ALL plastics.
Some, yes. (Don't use brake cleaner on your dash!)
Most automotive plastics you find under the hood? NO
I have used both chlorinated and non-chlorinated brake cleaner on the MAF, as well as in/on/around my Comp Cams Box upper.
No degredation.
IF you are concerned about plastic degredation, then give it a little test, but the MAF materials seem VERY resistant to most common solvents.
The disclaimers on the cans of cleaners can be a little mis-leading as they make some pretty broad generalizations. They do this for liability reasons.
My apologies if my previous posts came off as rude.
I make pretty quick responses here, as I only have my lunch break to get around this forum.
