I use MIS cleaning fluid.  You can also buy MIS "UC base" and dilute it
50/50 with distilled water.  The water by itself will have lower viscosity
and will not have the other things in it that might help keep the printer
clean.  On the other hand, it probably will not directly hurt the printer.

>Or maybe windshield wash fluid...?

I would not try this without knowing what is in it.
