You of course know this but for others reading: split infinitives are a feature of the English language, not a grammatical error! In this case it lets you cleanly state the solution is “to not use…” Forcing the construction “not to use”, in contrast, ends up creating a garden-path sentence as the reader awaits what the solution actually IS (anticipating “the solution is not to use… but rather…”) Split infinitives get a bad rap because they have no equivalent in Latin, and 19th century grammarians got fussy about things like that. Use them freely!
