I use heavy duty restaurant floor degreaser from Sam's club. Stuff works amazing. Kind of discovered it by accident one day because it was the only thing l had to use. Just be sure to wear rubber gloves. It starts to sting after awhile.

If you look at the ingrediants it's got phosphoric acid in it. Same thing as Naval Jelly and the stuff I use.

Meant to say floor stripper, not degreaser. But Charlie's right. That little bit of phosphoric acid in there really does the trick.
