I admit that I had not considered washing away the oils, I replace those anyway but I am going to try just hot water. I should have, well known in mechanical circles but was not thinking in that direction. We used other cleaning agents, the latter ones were non haz and beat the brute force cleaners all to heck. The one that was impossible was Tri Clore (brake cleaner). The Green Version is ok but lacks ooomph. There is a firm that came out with a Green Cleaner that was affective as Tri Clore (Triclorehtaline something). FDL cleaner. They sent me a free sample and we bought gallons of it at work.

Dish soap has good cleaning qualities and my thought was to maximize getting them clean.

I have to admit I have no nose for sulfur smell and apparently neither does my wife! (the same one who changed me from a shower in the morning to a shower before I went to bed or was sleeping alone!~)

I don't worry about crevices, grease takes care of that until I clean the whole thing out.
