    I assume by "GOOP" you mean grease, and in particular OLD grease. Straight Simple Green, undiluted, does a really good job of cleaning GOOP from machinery with the help of a toothbrush and some water to rinse. Need to repeat to get things squeaky clean if grease has hardened. Prolly not deadly enough for you though.

    Gun scrubber. But some have suggested on here it might hurt your finish. So..... I've used the simple green also. Good stuff, less toxic I guess. Still is pretty stiff though.

    Kerosene or Diesel fuel. I have also used mineral spirits and acetone.

    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
