A member turned me onto this, Woolite! Apparently someone tried it on another forum and found it worked. I found some in the laundry and ran a quick test at 2am in the kitchen (hey, I was excited!). I'll be damned if it isn't promising, I can swear it's breaking down the lube and I tried solid lanolin too for a control and it seems to be working on it albeit slower. Seemed to clean it from my hands MUCH better than Dawn, FWIW, which basically does nothing. Note all this was done in COLD water, since that's what most of us will be using.
The pictures of another fellow that has done it in a large tumbler looked very promising indeed --shiny brass, not the dull stuff you usually wind up with due to the lanolin not breaking down in traditional detergents.
Now we usually put citrus in there, I'm not too sure if that's necessary or what it'll accomplish --I think the Woolite's claim to fame is that it raises Ph, so addition of citrus would lower it thus negating some of the surfacant qualities I'd imagine. For sure we need to do some more testing but I think we're onto something here.
