essence of carboxylic refining
For me, the phrase concerns with the recommendation to not use any product or essence of carboxylic refining (petrol/gasoline in France is called "essence"), alcool or similar.

abrasive solvent-based cleaners
A tentative low - this English phrase is taken from a plastic-shelled blood glucose monitoring device and may or may not be comparable.

: I this you have the jist of it quite right, but there is no 'abrasive' in the source - that's the impression they want to give, but I think 'epuration' just means 'to clean' here.

acidic cleaning solvent
Do not use any acid or alcohol based or other similar cleaning product or solvent.
I don't like the 'or other similar' much. If you have leeway to edit I would probably put 'do not use organic cleaning products or solutions'
