I’ve used a household cleaning/degreasing concentrate that works well, and CMT orange cleaning spray. They both work well enough, but each have drawbacks. The household cleaner is liquid and I need to soak in a tray by the sink which takes time. The CMT spray doesn’t need to be rinsed so I can clean a blade in the garage, but it does need to be wiped, and takes a longer soak. Doesn’t feel as effective.
I used pine oil soap mixed with hot water and let them sit in a strong solution for a few hours and then gave a once-over with a stiff nylon brush. I haven’t tried that before but it works with paint brushes so I figured I’d give it a go. Brushes I let soak for days, though. Worked alright - it removed roughly 92% of it.
What’d you use and how well did it work?
