Cleaning grease from cables, electronics, metal parts and plastic components

Hi everyone !

Does anyone know a technique or product to clean grease from cables, electronics, metal parts and plastic components ? We receive a lot of different components from clients, who all use grease. So before we service the equipment, we have to clean it all, and it takes a lot of time.

We use Goo Gone, but whatever you cannot wipe with a cloth (like the inside of the cable's conectors) stays dirty.

I was thinking of somekind of a soaking bath that you leave the product in or shake it in and just wipe the excess off.

Does this miracle exist ?

Thanks in advance...

I was going to recommend Curtisol from Curtis Industries (it's a spray cleaner with citrus oils), but their Website is missing. Apparently, they're out of business.

Dunno how safe it would be for immersion, but Simple Green is a decent degreaser.

I don't think there is one product for all uses. Read the below link. Water based cleaners can corrode electrical contacts. Oil based cleaners leave a film. Solvent based cleaners can harm some plastics.
