Cleaning grease from cables, electronics, metal parts and plastic components
Hi everyone !
Does anyone know a technique or product to clean grease from cables, electronics, metal parts and plastic components ? We receive a lot of different components from clients, who all use grease. So before we service the equipment, we have to clean it all, and it takes a lot of time. We use Goo Gone, but whatever you cannot wipe with a cloth (like the inside of the cable's conectors) stays dirty. I was thinking of somekind of a soaking bath that you leave the product in or shake it in and just wipe the excess off. Does this miracle exist ? Thanks in advance... |

I was going to recommend Curtisol from Curtis Industries (it's a spray
cleaner with citrus oils), but their Website is missing. Apparently, they're out of business. |

I don't think there is one product for all uses. Read the below link. Water based cleaners can corrode electrical contacts. Oil based cleaners leave a film. Solvent based cleaners can harm some plastics. http://www.centerline-products.com/cleaning.htm |

Compressed air then alcohol wipes.

??Why not an ultrasonic bath device using plain warm water and soap,
followed with a rinse of distilled water with a good time for air drying.?? Minimal use of harsh chemicals which may/maynot harm particular plastics. Alcohol (Denatured) may tend to be corrosive to many types of plastics, even when it seems to have been completely wiped off. Problem, one solvent and procedure may not completely fill your requirement. wrote in message ... Compressed air then alcohol wipes. |
