I know, I've used it, most of us have, but that was before I realized just how dangerous it is.
If it's inside, the vapors lay on the floor, waiting for any source of ignition, like a static spark, a steel tool dropped on the concrete, a spark from an extension cord...

Odorless mineral spirits is a good cleaner, not as flammable as gas, but it will burn. You can get it at HD or Lowes in the paint dept.
