I've not used the product Albert mentions but it makes sense.
Most products from major chemical groupings, i.e. aromatic, aliphatic, ester, ketone, and alcohols will either leave a residue, be too aggressive for the vinyl, or not be aggressive enough to remove the silicone.
That leaves halogenated solvents which are derivatives of bromine, chlorine, flourine, etc. These are non-residue, quick evaporating, aggressive solvents that for the most part will not attack vinyl. Freon is not a chemical simply Dupont's trade name for a line of halogenated chemicals. They are useful as cleaning solutions in their two forms which are liquids at room temperature/pressure and refrigerants as gases under high pressure.
The original formulas have been modified with hydrocarbons so as to be more environmentally friendly.
I'd take a serious look at Albert's recommendation as the typical surfactant/enzyme cleaning solution will not remove all silicone in 2, 3, or even more applications.
