true but is this the non-chlorinated stuff?
personally I use carb cleaner as it is formulated to not hurt rubber and plastics.
for small parts I have a gallon can of Gunk parts cleaner and I just soak them in that. the can comes with a little basket that you lower the parts into. it can be used over and over as the particulates settle to the bottom. works really well...
never push a wrench...
simple green is great as a degreaser and it's non-toxic. it's cheap enough (relatively) that you can just flood it into and over parts that have grit adhering to lube.
but make sure you rinse it off completely with plain water as it can be somewhat destructive to anodized surfaces. then use compressed air to remove the water and relube copiously as it removes every last bit down to the pores in the metal.
but for what it takes in time to use the stuff, I just prefer to use some type of automotive parts or carb cleaner. and then relube copiously as these completely remove lube as well...

Simple Green + Aluminum = BAD. I'd be careful with that. Depending on your dilution ratio and what flavor of simple green, you may be OK.
Have not done an AR yet, but on my CC pistol that does get a lot of dust, grit, lint...

I use brake cleaner quite a bit because I'm admitedly lazy. Works great!
I say lube it more.
Like fill the BCG with oil until it sprays out on the first few shots and gets your shirt dirty when you carry it. If oil ain't running out of the pin holes on the reciever and the whole upper is not completely gooped up with oil, then it's too dry.
I already know I'm about to hear how oil 'attracts' dirt. WTF ever, if your AR quits running when the wind picks up, you're doing it wrong...
When I do my detailed cleaning I start by hosing everything down with hot soapy water, this usually is enough to flush out dirt, sand or grit. Just make sure you dry the whole thing well. Lucky me I have a place I can put my rifle that is about 90* and dry.
