I am sure that is true of methylene chloride.
Be careful, though; it is a powerful solvent, removing, among other
things, *all* the oil from your skin, if you have much contact with
it.
It is absorbed through the skin, too, and hurts/burns.
It may also neatly soften or dissolve a lot of the plastics used in
electronics; I don't know.

Methylene chloride is definitely not for electronic components.
It is used a paint stripper. I am sure it would require rinsing
off quickly with another solvent, otherwise your PCB would be
fuggered.
The sadly-missed chloro/fluoro-carbon cleaners would not damage the useful
stuff like plastics, rubber, lacquer, metal, paper et ecetera.
