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

Sep 16, 2007 5 Replies

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.

If you really believe carbon dioxide causes global warming, you should stop exhaling.

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.
