There is a better alternative, IMHO. You can get Prazio anti-newton oil 
from Prazio in Canada:

For scanner cleanup, use their drum cleaner and scanner wipes:

For film cleanup, use their film cleaner and scanner wipes.

I've been using Prazio supplies for years for drum scanning. Works 
wonderfully, and it doesn't evaporate so quickly that you have trouble 
working with it.
