    For starters try a good dishwashing detergent, Dawn , Joy are two
    examples of many. Try about 1 or 2 tablespoons per 3 qts of water as
    a start adjust up if you need stronger. If you need a little more
    kick add a little rubbing alcohol, about 1 cup to 3 qts of water.
    Ammonia works good with the soap and water but as you said the smell
    gets stout, if you have to go the ammonia route use it in a well
    ventalated area. This should clean most objects the next step up
    would be like Simple Green or some others, then you get into the
    industral strength meta-silicate based cleaners. Wear rubber gloves
    with these as they will strip the oils from your skin. Stay away from
    gasoline, acatone, etc. BIG fire and explosion hazard. I hope this
    helps.
