I've had pretty good luck with Simple Green, a water dilutable
degreaser/cleaner. They have a good website description of the product at
http://www.simplegreen.com check the FAQ's, they seem to make the case
that their product enhances the natural biological degradation of oils and
greases in the waste stream. The stuff cleaned the gook off everything I've
sprayed it on, it doesn't burn and it is fairly cheap. Whether you can
flush it down the sewer after cleaning the floor under the fridge is open to
debate. Sometimes it is better to move. (NFI)

Subject: Parts washing solution -- ecofriendly?
Oh wise list members:
Let me couch my following question by saying that I am not trying to destroy
the environment, nor have I ever knowingly done so.
Are there any parts washing solutions that break down grease and oil to
allow them to travel through the community sewer system without causing
major eco-problems? I'm thinking about a workbench design that incorporates
both a utility tub (feeding into the regular sewer system), and parts
washer. If there is a degreasing solution that can be introduced into the
sewer system, the design might be very handy.
Before flaming back, please remember that I'm asking, not doing. 8^)
