I have found Ecotech to be the most effective environmently friendly degreaser available and use it on a daily basis in my shop at u.c.davis. If you can afford the luxury of a parts cleaning tank, the soap and water based solutions work fine as long as you are patient and wait for the solution to heat up. I used to use a cleaner called safety solvent and this stuff was great! it was designed for hard to reach places on electrical motors and would blast grease into the next area code. I used it primarily on old vanished grease like the kind you find on 30-40 year old neglected bikes. This product is toxic and should only be used in a well ventilated area.
