Giving my Black widow a bath..need help

[Steve1591]

Ok, im going to give my BWS, BWP and prob. Hotwire a bath tonight...

...Now in the past i have given my BWS and BWP a bath using hot water and dish soap, however it doesnt seem to help either one a whole lot, so heres where i need help...

What other cleaners are safe for using? I have Awesome Cleaner as well as Greased Lightning, are either one of those safe or better to use? Im looking for something stronger then dish soap...and no, i do not have a dishwasher :(

Thanks for the help :cool:

Use a grease cutting dish detergant.

I used dawn.

Only use it for 1 cycle, then just straight hot water for the rest, I generally do a few without the soap, then do the soap and it works great.

Simple Green should work fine.

When was the last time you had the balls resurfaced?

Jeez,here we go again.:p First,use HOT steaming water only for the first bucket. You have to get the ball up in temp to get the oil to start bleeding out of it. You'll feel the oil on the ball,Yuk! THEN use the Dawn for one bucket. About 15-20 minutes. After that the water cools too much. Repeat with HOT water only until ball is no longer oily. I've done someone else's ball that was BAD with oil and it took 12 buckets to get it all out. 12 x 15 minutes per bucket=3 HOURS of soak time!!! Beats 24 hours and $30 bucks in the Hook Again.
