A very common dry cleaning solvent is called perchloroethylene. It's a very good
solvent for grease and lett dangerous to things like groundwater than the old
standby trichloroethylene. To find out more, do a search on the name or 'dry
cleaning solvent'
If I remember correctly, this was called 'Fedron Platten Cleaner' for
typewriters. It cleaned and deglazed rubber rollers. This implies it may be OK
for short term use on rubber (maybe not a long soak) as a quick wipe.
BTW, several water based products (including my favorite, Fantastik) are really
good grease cutters.
Good luck,
