This site also says that naptha can be used:

Pure alcohol. Would that mean you could also use Everclear?
Interesting, thanks. I'd concluded that the slides would have to be
removed from their mounts to clean them effectively. In an eBay lot I
bought some years ago, I got a stack of new mounts. I'm fairly sure I
have a slide mount press with them as well. I'm right at the cutting
edge of modern technology.

Naphtha & 98% alcohol dry really fast. You have to be careful you're not
just sliding the dirt & fungus around, and if the surface dries while
you're still rubbing, there's a risk of scratching the emulsion.
If you're going to be removing the slides from their mounts & remounting
them after cleaning, you might try using something like pre-moistened
eyeglass cleaning wipes.

I've also used a lens cloth wetted with Photo-Flo followed by dipping in
Photo-Flo followed by distilled water to rinse & hanging them to dry
before remounting.
