A nonflammable solvent composition, a method of cleaning an article, and a method of depositing a material on a substrate are disclosed. The nonflammable solvent composition includes a fluorocyclopentane in which 3 to 9 hydrogen atoms have each been replaced by a fluorine atom; trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE); and at least one organic compound, such as a C2-C6 alcohol, a C1-C6 alkane, and a C3-C6 cycloalkane. Amounts of the fluorocyclopentane, t-DCE, and the organic compound in the nonflammable composition are selected so that the composition is an azeotrope or is azeotrope-like. The method of cleaning an article includes contacting the article with the nonflammable composition via vapor degreasing or wet cleaning. The method of depositing a material on a substrate includes dissolving the material in the nonflammable solvent composition, applying the composition containing the material to the substrate, and evaporating the composition from the substrate.
