Question Can you use brake fluid to clean fuel injectors?

I heard you can soak your fuel injectors in DOT3 brake fluid to clean them, is this true?

it might work being that brake fluid will eat paint off of stuff. But why not just buy a bottle of injector cleaner additive and soak them in that? its about the same price and is meant for that.
