How do I clean the blade? Plastic wool did nothing at all. Thanks.

Washing soda. 1/4 cup in a quart of warm water. Soak blade for 5-10
minutes.
Rinse gunk off.

Would a Walmart carry it?

No. Not the WalMart stores here, anyway (Indianapolis).

I haven't heard of anyone using washing soda for many years, but will give
it a try if I can find it.

Your best bet is a grocery store, on the same aisle as laundry detergent. If
you find the borax, the washing soda is probably close by. Arm & Hammer brand.
Big yellow box -- looks like their baking soda box, only bigger. Here in Indy,
Kroger and Safeway grocery stores have it, and I believe Ace Hardware, too.

If you can't find any, email me for my PayPal address, and I'll send you a box
at cost (approx. $2.50 plus shipping).
