HELP Parts Washer Cleaning Solution Needed!!!!!!

[MeanGun]

Hey all,

I just recently bought a few parts washers with the intenetion of using them to clean some guns. I recently found out that Hoppes # 9 in the 1 gallon bottle will run me upward of $50plus....OUCH.
Anyone have any ideas as to what else i can use to clean (soak my guns in that wont cost me an arm and a leg and a kidney to use?
And will your alternatives be gun safe?


THANKS!
