In an accurate scientific sense, the term "non-solvent cleaner" has a very different meaning to how the term is commonly used. Non-solvent means that what is being cleaned-up does not dissolve in the cleaning liquid. In many cases soapy water does not dissolve what is being cleaned, so is a non-solvent cleaner. In common use, non-solvent is very often used to mean non-hydrocarbon.
It is nonpolar
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
Solvent adhesives join surfaces by the action of the solvent 'carrier' evaporating or drying out, leaving the adhesive in place. -Other types of non-solvent adhesives like contact cement and epoxy rely on pressure or chemical reaction.
hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a non-polar solvent.

Perchloroethylene is a common solvent used for dry cleaning.
Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.
An aerosol delivered solvent is the main ingredient in brake cleaners. Brake cleaner can come in both chlorinated and non-chlorinated forms. Brake cleaner can be toxic, so wear a mask and avoid breathing in the chemicals.
A non-aqueous solvent is a solvent such as toluene or benzene that does not contain water.
It is nonpolar
Francium is a chemical element, not a solvent.

Kerosene is a non polar solvent (or non ionic solvent) and cannot dissolve an ionic compound such as salt.
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
It is a non volatile solvent.
the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.
