Green scouring pads are a quick and easy to get hold of alternative.

Told not to use brake cleaner on bike disc as brake cleaner can leave a residue, hence why you are supposed to use IPA

Correct. If you also do welding in the same space, the brake cleaner fumes will kill you

Is it not any source of heat/flame?

Thought most brake cleaner in the UK is not the kind that does that. But yeah be careful.

Have wiped car drums and shoes with cellulose paint thinners in the past and the braking was highly improved.
