I *hope* you're wrong, because using CFC's to clean records would be
inexcusable -- not to mention carcinogenic.

There's no such thing as trichlorotrifluoromethane, BTW, since you can't
stick 6 halogens on a carbon.  More likely would be C-Cl2-F2 (dichloro-
difluoromethane), a.k.a. Freon, or C-Cl4 (carbon tetrachloride), a.k.a.
dry cleaning fluid.  You really don't want to be breathing this stuff.
