Great research, Bob. It’s always good to know products that would work, and the fact that it is biodegradable is just outstanding.

I was looking for something to clean a gunked-up jukebox mechanism when I found this review of various industrial degreasers:

I used it as suggested by the juke guys, full-strength in a dollar store spray bottle and the results were almost too good to believe - the sticky dried-on grease just melted away.   A little scrubbing with a paintbrush in the worst areas followed by water rinse was all it took.   I've since used it on things likegrimy radios, gunky coiled mic cords, a nasty range hood, etc with similar success.   It's non-haz, eco-friendly, and  a little goes a long way.     Just thought it might be of interest.  Of course you need to completely re-lube afterwards.
