Remove the cassette
Heat up some Simple Green in an old pan, on the stove. Dont boil, just heat it up a bit
Insert cassette cogs in pan of heated Simple Green, grease/grime comes off instantly.
Heated Simple Green works way better then cold Simple Green....duh

After using a brush, I like to use an old cotton sock to "floss" between the cogs. This grabs the dirt better and soaks up any degreaser.
