You asked:  "I have been looking for something to use indoors in a parts
cleaning machine.
Flammability concerns me, along with odor. How is Castrol Degreaser in those
areas?"

I've recently used Castrol degreaser and "Floway" from the Kroil people
(Kano Labs).

I had respiratory difficulties and substantial pain for more than 24 hours
after using the Castrol stuff, and our shop is HUGE ( I can park 15 cars
inside at night) and has large windows and doors as well as the famous Santa
Maria wind, which blows most of the time.  I will NEVER use that cr*p again.
(Now that I think about it, I used it outside in the parking lot!)  Besides,
it MUST be removed after a very short time or it begins attacking light
metals.  It didn't work nearly as well as the Floway, either.  Both are
expensive.  I'm sure there's a dedicated product out there for just your
purpose.  BTW, we just got our new bio parts cleaner.  Ya gotta keep the
heater on it it so the little buggers can eat their grease and oil.  I love
it!  HTH, John
