Removing silicone damping fluid

oil should be dissolve with soaps, no need to us solvents

I’m no expert, but what does the manufacturer of the silicone say to use??

@curiousjim - the fluid was supplied unbranded from Basis with the turntable, so I went to them for an answer. 

"Mineral spirits" is also mentioned in the owners pamphlet for the Townshend Audio Rock turntable (which employs silicon damping fluid in a trough for the arm/pickup) as the fluid to use for cleanup in case of spillage. Mineral spirits is a special version of petroleum-derived organic solvents, similar to naphtha and paint thinner, but free of some additives found in those chemicals. Other substitutes are denatured alcohol, acetone, and turpentine. Another interesting alternative is Orange Oil Natural Citrus Solvent.
