Maker Most folk just call me; Orange Joe Messages 10,368 Location Don't ask questions Jul 4, 2019 #2 Depends what the box is made of? My go-to degreaser is liquid paraffin, readily available and cheap from the likes of B&Q. Failing that I'll move up to stronger solvents, IPA, acetone, etc. I don't believe in branded products like Gunk

Jizzer is ok, but it takes time. Washing soda is a good slow one, I heat mine up and scrub with a old brush. Cheep washing up liquid and sugar worked hard in. Be careful when washing down a drain, it can bubble up.
