As An alternative have you looked at steam cleaning methods.
If this is impractical you could contact the following Companies who I am sure will be able to assist with a safer chemical alternative
Fisher Scientific
Tel: 01509 231166
Merck
Tel: 01202 669700

Charles Walkers in Bingley use a degreaser called MC 1995 which is used as a safer alternative to trichloroethane. It is made by a company called Main Chemicals in the Bradford area.
I'll find out more when their safety rep gets back into work.

Try Oil Cleaning Bio Products, who have a web site at www.ocbp.co.uk
or EnviroSan at www.environmentaldegreasers.com
They have products which are based on natural solvents and on biological degreasers and which are not only safer to the user than chemical solvents - especially "trike" - but also to the environment.

I thought that trichloroethane had been banned for some years by the Montreal Protocol; how come you have been using it?
