Default Removing caked on grease and crud

I typically beadblast most of the parts in am restoring. However, it is very hard to blast off grease and grease laden crud. Usually the grease is also covered with dirt and other crud. I can scrape off some of the crud with a putty knife, but grease is hard to remove and beadblasting grease takes forever to remove. I would like a chemical that is easy to dispose of, not a solvent based liquid. I know petroleum based degreasers work well, but hard to dispose of when the part(s) are degreased. If someone has found a good, cheap degreaser that I can pour in a pan to submerge the part in to remove most or all the crud before beadblasting, would you post it below?
