Another so-called "enviro-friendly" solvent to to try is Citra-solve. It's a
orange oil based solvent that is marketed under various names. It's used allot
in hand cleaners. It too doesn't work as well as regular solvents but it smells
good- like oranges. Something I've used allot over the years for degreasing
parts is regular old powdered Tide laundry detergent with a little water, it
works great! Just make sure to dry your parts well for obvious reasons, I hose
them with WD-40 afterwards, which itself is an excellent solvent, quite spendy
though.
