Default non-toxic spot cleaners?

Does anyone know what the least toxic spot cleaner might be? I have used Premium 303 and don't like the health risks associated with it. We don't have to do a lot of spot cleaning but would like something less toxic. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure such a thing exists. The stuff in spot cleaning guns is a dry cleaning chemical, and I've never heard of 'green dry cleaning'

I could be wrong though.

But yeah, that stuff is pretty rough. When it splashes on my glasses, it melts craters in them, and I spray out spots outside so I don't die and any vegetation it lands on is brown in moments.

I have also found that it doesn't always work and sometimes leaves rings. There is another one called SPIF II that sounds like it may not be quite as bad because it doesn't contain methylene chloride or any ketones but I don't know much else about it.
