For a good discussion that's on OGF, try this one. You will find links to a lot of interesting reading on the 2nd page:

Seems like most of the common cleaning methods are not that good. Not to say they don't sort of work, but you can do a lot better. No matter what you use, always finish with mineral spirits and a little graphite on the rails. You won't be sorry.
