Nothing to suggest it is better than any other degreaser but it works....

Get one​ from Aldi or Lidl when they have them on.

40% white vinegar
60% water
2-3 drops Washing up liquid

Run it on 20-30 minute cycle, depending on how gunged up it is.

Usually just carb/intake cleaner spray will do. Poke sandwich tie wire thru the jets, gently. Careful on reassembling bowl so as not to crush rubber gasket.

Don't use brake cleaner!
