I have used denatured alcohol for degreasing. Mostly for de-greasing flintlocks (Ballistol) prior to shooting but also other firearms....looking for something for degreasing lighter lubes like ballistol and CLP type lubes.

Anyone know of a natural non-toxic degreaser? Denatured alcohol works but warnings state it is toxic. This would obviously be something that would not destroy a blue finish like anything with vinegar.
