Hi all,

Had a sticky screen door this summer, so I cleaned all the rails and
sprayed with white lithium grease.

Worked fine for the summer, but now is colder and grease has thickened
and turned a pretty nasty shade of yellow. So I now have yellow,
sticky grease all over the frame.

Any suggestions on a good solvent to remove this gunk?

Should I just use alcohol or something more aggressive?

Best & TIA

Freddie

Kerosene to cut the grease. Then a water-based cleaner to allow you to
wash the kerosene off.

I like Gunk engine cleaner or similar products. You mix a little bit
with a lot of kerosene (or diesel fuel, etc.) but absolutely no water.
Then, when you have cut through the grease, spray with water to
dissolve everything.

Pretty cheaply, too.
