Shoutout to the bio-based gun cleaner I tried last week

Honestly, I was doubtful about plant-based solvents, but this one cuts through carbon buildup just as well as the harsh stuff. It's made from citrus extracts, so it smells better and doesn't bug my skin. Tbh, I'm switching my whole bench over to it because it's safer for the environment and still works great. Ngl, it costs more, but it's worth it for the peace of mind.

I've found that bio cleaners need a bit longer to soak for best results. Your mileage may vary, but it's a good trick.

Actually @webb.viola warm water helps them work faster too.

Read an article that said the enzymes in those cleaners really do love a bit of warmth (like baby bottle warm, not hot). It totally backs up what you're both saying, especially @webb.viola's point about giving them time to soak. I guess the heat just gets them started eating the gunk faster. Makes me wonder if super hot water might actually kill some of the good bugs though.
