I used some brake cleaner the other day since I'd ran out of citrus degreaser. It was amazing in comparison

I've been using the stuff from Screwfix in my chain cleaning kerjigger, £7.99 for 5 litres and does the job nicely.

Brake cleaner is evil stuff... bloody good though.

The stuff I used seemed to be IPA or acetone which isn't that bad really, just avoid getting it on your hands.

Parrafin. Soak, scrub, rinse in parrafin again and allow to dry. Pour the dirty parrafin through a paper filter to get rid of the crap and re-use.

Jizer, been using it for years, bought a gallon in 1987 and still got some left.
