Just salt? Warm water, the universal solvent.

I would only add white vinegar for green grunge....
Also have had good luck with Sweets 7.62 on brass gears, but don't leave it in there long because it will strip the copper out of the brass!

I'd use WD-40 despite its terrible reputation here.  It displaces moisture, it has solvents that will cut the old lubricants, and the spray helps loosen gunk.  It a good cleaning agent for something like that.

Agreed, one of the few things it's good for since I discovered CorrosionX!

For greasy gunk I like carburetor cleaner. Put some in a small jar and add the mucked up parts.  Swish it around with a lid on it. Good ventilation is a must
Do what you can with that you have where you are
