Die cleaning
Vol. 23 #2, Oct. 1996

Die and screws can be cleaned using a mixture of automatic transmission fluid and a non chlorine household cleaner, i.e., Dutch Boy. Mixing the two together forms a paste which is used to clean the metal parts.

If chlorine is present it could etch chrome plating.
