[78-L] Using alcohol vapour to clean discs

        My grandfather used to clean pocketwatches by suspending them with 
the gears exposed downward, over a dish of spirits/alcohol.  He would set 
this arrangement up in a cupboard and forbid anyone to open the door for 
several days.  Sure enough there would a collection of fine particles in 
the dish after the waiting was over, and the watch was as clean as 
possible without any dismantling.
        Would this process work for cleaning discs?
