And discbrake cleaner is not sutibale for pads? hmmm.... again videos and tips say so....
Do you have a car? Do you do the same for those rotors and pads?

The cleaner won't hurt the pads, but if they are contaminated, you won't be able to wash the grease out. Some people sanded off the pads in the hope only the very upper layer is contaminated. Ultimately contaminated pads needs to be replaced.

I'm not sure if you are jesting, but do you frequently contaminate your pads and rotors? Maybe that needs to be resolved. you know squealing brakes are not cured by lubricating. but I'm sure there is a video of recommending exactly that.
