HR cleaner (A1539530) Vs Rubber Cleaner (VSSK9504)

[Richariri]

So we have finally ran out of our surplus of HR Cleaner, it's a really useful cleaning product that Ricoh used to supply.
we regularly use it to clean toner buildup on hot rollers and other fuser parts and it works a dream.

Here's the issue,

I went to order some last month and it said it had been superceded by 'rubber cleaner' so I ordered this to give a try and I have been provided with an excellent rubber roller cleaner (like platencleane) but this product is absolutely nothing like the Toner Snot and I am worried that if I use it on the rollers to clean fused toner that it will either cause damage or simply not work.

can anyone vouch for the rubber cleaner being able to breakdown / clean up fused toner?
Does anyone know an alternative or supplier of the HR toner (Fuser Snot)?

Thanks' in advances

In my experience the rubber cleaner you've seen (the lovely green Long's stuff) will take pretty much anything off anything. That might include the teflon coating of the hot roller. Give it a try but on an old one. I think it'll strip that coating faster than the clothes on a drunk hooker.
