Parts washers

What type fluid do you guys use in your parts washer?

All the parts washers I have used (I've used a lot of peoples), mineral spirits...

I just hate using mineral spirits................. I would like to use something else if I could find something that would clean as good.

Is it the smell, the chemical exposure to your hands or what? Migranes run in my family so I get headaches easily, if its bad and I'm at home I put a pain resperator on and I don't smell it. Bad for your brain too, get you high real fast What about thinner? Diesel fuel?

varsal (spelling) if you can get it, I cant find it down here.

Naptha

the only thing I put in it is a quart of ATF which helps with the hands drying out so much...

Think I'll with this. also used it many times.

I buy the stuff the local Carquest auto parts store sells. Comes in a 5 gallon pail, works good and doesn't completely kill your hands. I don't remember what it's called, I just tell them I need some more parts cleaner....

I use kero and always gloves works good.

Coug,
I take it the Naptha is a NAPA product?
Thanks.

Naptha is petroleum ether. Great cleaner, harsh on the hands

i use parts cleaner from Grainger. It comes in a 5 gal bucket and costs about $65.

I use whatever they use in the ones at work.....................

I probably will use Naptha, I am going to put a filter cartridge on it to help keep it clean.

I had used Varsol in the past and liked it , but couldn't remember the name of it. Old timers disease I guess.

Thanks for the help guys..............
