I would also agree with the simple green.
One thing people have not mentioned, the scrub brush.
Our club just had a presentation from Freud and the presenter was adamant that a brass bristle brush should NEVER be used on carbide!
I had bought and used a number of brass bristle brushes for cleaning router bits, saw blades, etc. Anyone want to buy a used brush? (grin)
Seriously, he recommended a nylon bristle brush as the best choice. He also suggested simple dish detergent as the cleaning agent.
