Ideally without hazardous chemicals.

Does dish soap and hot water work?

Wait, are you telling me there's paint thinner you can't drink?

The crazy thing is, d-limonene can be used as a paint thinner, you can burn it in a diesel or a jet engine, and when ingested it can reduce heartburn.

Yeah, it's called Malort.
