I did something really stupid....
So I have the clutch squeak and on some forum I heard that spraying some sort of lubricant in that little rubber boots under the tranny(on the pivot fork bearing) would solve the issue. Well looks like I might have gotten something else cause now when I take off in first gear my car feels like it's not gripping the clutch and vibrates slightly.🤦
Would spraying break cleaner in there help he issue? Or just leave it alone for now I'm so pissed please help me pros🙁

Sounds like you contaminated the clutch with whatever you sprayed in there.
Since it's already slipping I suggest just slipping the **** out of it to slightly smoke the clutch and hopefully it will burn off enough of whatever you sprayed in there that it will salvage the clutch.
1st gear, get on the throttle hard and accelerate with the clutch pedal about halfway engaged, only do this for a few seconds at a time. It will stink like burning clutch for half a day as the smoke makes it's way out of the bellhousing. Since you are already slipping you might be able to just wide open throttle in 1st gear with the clutch fully released and get the same effect.
YES YOU ARE SMOKING THE CLUTCH BY DOING THIS, but hopefully the heat generated will cook off enough of the contaminants to make it mostly functional again.
More than likely though you will need a new clutch.
