There are purpose-made products that are not supposed to harm the old

IMO the safe thing to do is clean up the brush and commutator area, but keep
any kind of solvents (or sharp objects) away from the windings. The

Oh, and "contact cleaner" is NOT appropriate for brushes or commutators
either. It's designed to leave an oily film behind, which is suitable for
hand-operated sliding contacts, but not powered commutators.
