I have a sectional Root 66 Not a bad machine. I try to take care of the cables the best I know how. I always have a rag and wipe it off as I pull it back the cable. When I have some roots or what ever else I pull back stuck in cable I take a screw driver and dig it out. But I really don't know how to get grease out? Is there someting I can soak the cables in that will eat the grease off and not harm the cables? (It would be nice if it smelled good to.
