Degreaser cleaner
wgw:
Diesel is very good for keeping midges away, better than the bought lotions. To old to worry about girls. Cheapest way for real dirty stuff, if you don't have a steam cleaner, is hot water and washing powder, boil if possible. Best for "chemical" clean is cell. thinners.

Another vote for washing powder here :thumbup:
It's amazing stuff that shifts all sorts of muck. I habitually wear (theoretically) white (*) "unvented" Crocs about the farm yard - they get a lot of abuse, both from animal outpourings, but also from oils and greases about the farm machinery. Every few weeks I hand wash / scrub them in washing powder and they come up a treat (so do my hands!)
I have had complaints about my dirty shoes from one member :lol:

(* Why white - they are half the price of other colours as intended for use in catering establishments and don't attract VAT)

Washing powder can be very good although it can cause pitting in metals, very good at cleaning teapots internally with an over night soak.
When in search of John’s Elbow Grease, having visited 3 of the correct type of store to no avail began to wonder if it was a wind up.
Eventually found it in Pound Stretcher.
John Stevenson:
No not a wind up in fact just been round the workshop to find a dirty bit of machine.
Backside of a Beaver milling machine, not been cleaned in at least 15 years.
Spray on, leave 5 minutes and wipe off.
Speaks for itself.
awemawson:
Sugar Soap, as used in paintwork preparation, works similarly, and B&Q (spit) sell it in spray bottles but cheaper to mix your own from the crystals.
