Please advise of solvent to use for cleaning blower wheel and housing for oil furnace. Cleaners for automobile use seem to hang around and stink up the house.

    well

    a rag, a brush and a vac do the trick. I don't like to spray anything in there. Only thing I do is oil the motor if it has a port...scrape out the fin's and vac it up..:)
    On a safety note, make sure you have the power off before you stick your finger's in anywhere!!!!

    I remove the motor, use a bottle type brush on the wheel (the same size one I use for gauge glasses). If it is oily and needs to be cleaned with solvent then there is an oil leak that needs to be addressed.
