Parts Washer: What solvent are you using?

I’ve got one of those big red 20-gallon parts washers. You know the one. I mostly clean bicyle parts, and most bicycle lubricants are not petroleum-based. They’re usually plant or wax-based.

I use Zep purple degreaser. It’s worked fantastic for all my machines. Anything you get you should avoid the fumes anyways.

But uh don’t inhale anything if you can help it.
