more eco friendly/less caustic screen cleaners?

Hi all--

My collective and I reclaimed some screens a few weeks back, and it went pretty well, but woo! Did we ever get unintentially high off the fumes! We decided later that this is a trip that we would not like to repeat. (It wasn't that intense, but it also felt like we were killing brain cells: no good.)

We were wondering if there were less caustic/more eco-friend alternatives.

I have read through the threads and there seems to be two themes: it's all about the chemicals, and bleach or other household cleaners. Is there anything else? Could we use non-chlorine bleach do you think? What about natural cleansers? Not strong enough? Suggestions? Could we use Dr. Bronner's and then a degreaser (since DB has oils in it?)

Thanks for any input in advance!
