Are there any cheap alternatives to electric shaver cleaning unit fluid (Philips charge £5 or more a pop)??
I recently purchased a Philips shaver that features a cleaning unit utilizing a specialized cleaning fluid. Unfortunately, this fluid depletes quickly and is quite costly, priced at £5 or more each time. I'm looking for affordable alternatives to the Philips-branded cleaning solution. Are there any suggestions for cheaper substitutes, or might household products, such as contact lens cleaner, be effective? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Just use regular methylated spirit (a.k.a denatured alcohol) from any hardware store. What the Philips (and Braun - for their shaver cleaning cartridges) solution is, is simply alcohol that has been dyed and fragranced. If you wanted to make your own cleaning solution, i'd suggest mix some meths with some lemon juice and a small amount of machine oil. That should do the trick. (PS if you try this, you do so at your own risk)
I like all of them in this order Foreigner - Cold as Ice, At War with The World, Blue Monday, Jukebox Hero Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son, Portrait (He Knew), Lonely Wind, Hold On, Styx - Crystal Ball,Lorelei, Angry Young Man, Boat On A River Boston - Peace Of Mind, Hitch A Ride, Foreplay/ Longtime Journey - Wheel In The Sky, Separate Ways, Faithfully, Don't Stop Believing Cheap Trick - The Flame, Surrender, She's Tight ELO - Evil Woman, Turn To Stone, Showdown Asia - Heat Of The Moment, Wildest Dreams, Only Time will Tell
Buy a small bottle of Isopropyl Alchohol from your chemist. This is a good cleaning fluid and will not effect plastic as does cellulose thinners. ( It also cleans off the sticky deposit left when you peel off stick on labels)

well my dad uses some cheap spirets like cheap vodka or gin £6.00 for 1 l of vodka and it would at least fill it 5 times cos alcahole contains methanol and is exacley the same as the philips recharge
