Mike,
Castrol has recently (past year, or so) put out a water-soluble
cleaner that is absolutely fantastic. If you're not careful it'll take
the skin right off of your hands. You should be able to get it at most
automotive/hardware places. It works great in my parts cleaner and is
biodegradeable. It's also the first thing that I've found that will
easily clean the grease off of the screen in the kitrchen oven vent!
