Default Cleaners

I have read on several RCU posts that Dawn Power Dissolver and Copper Cream combine to clean engines very well. Where are you guys getting those things? I have looked at Lowes and Walmart and the people there look at me like I just had an accident on their floor. I have a couple of engines to clean and I would like to get away from the fumes of the hot antifreeze method.
Thanks, guys
ps It's possible that it was just the folks I spoke to at those places. Sometimes, especially at Walmart, they act like you're really putting them out when you ask a question.

I get my Dawn Power Dissolver at Wally World. I think it was in the household cleaner section.

I get the Dawn Power desolver at Wal Mart in the SOAP isles. It took awhile to find it the first time. When using it MAKE SURE that you rinse the item really good or it will leave fisheye type lines on the item. I use it a lot and have NO problems now that I know it has to be really rinsed good. ENJOY !!! RED

I dont know about the power disolver, but in the past, I have used denatured alcohol to clean engines. Just disassemble the engine as much as possible and sink in the alcohol for a few days. reassemble and it is as good as new!
