Hi

Simple green, it's sold in all the finest stores. Walmart, Home Depot,  
Lowes, maybe even Wegmans. Probably not Wegmans, not high end enough ...

It's a lot like other janitorial grade cleaners. There's nothing very  
special about it. There probably are a dozen other products that work  
every bit as well.

The reason I like the stuff is that it's water based. You don't have  
all the ventilation issues you do with solvents. Disposal with water  
cleanup is also a lot easier than getting rid of solvents these days.
