Thank you to everyone who responded. I got some good suggestions which I plan on trying.
Just incase the responses I have received weren't sent to everyone, and also to make an easier-to-read reference for the future - Dilute acetic acid. xylene for waxy buildup Greased Lightning cleaner (store bought) 50/50 bleach mix - let sit for a while. warm water flushes in fixative and first alcohol The only response I received before changing the solutions was the dilulte acetic acid which we tried but did not find effective.
