Parts cleaner fluid

[Sawmill7]

Cleaning out my parts washer and installing a extra filter
What's everyone using in their parts washer?
Thinking about something water based so no smell or fire hazard. Simple green, or the purple cleaner? Don't know how it works on grease .
Thanks for any input. Bill

I use PSC 1000 from Tractor supply. But for water based I use Simple Green Aircraft Precision Cleaner, diluted appropriately.

Water based solvents will often destroy the paint inside the washer. I'd stick with solvent based.

I use PSC1000 and have been very happy with it. Very mild odor...not offensive at all and with the lid closed there is no odor. The flash point is 143 degrees so very safe.

I have kerosine in my parts cleaner

I can't recommend anything water based, but I would not consider Simple Green to be odor free. I can't stand the smell of it.

Another vote for PSC 1000. Been using it for years in my shop/business.

I was given some used parts cleaner solvent, I top it off with mineral spirits a couple of times a year. I've heard nothing good about mixing water based parts cleaner and metal parts cleaners.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (aging myself), I also happily use PSC1000.
