Default Home-made Reclaiming Solution?

Howdy,
Was just wondering if there is a house hold solutions that will work okay for reclaiming a screen. I can't get a regular recaliming solution to the house fast enough. Thanks for your help in advance!

bleach will take longer than a reclaimer, but it does work. wear gloves and don't breathe in the fumes.

seriously.

i've tried with ulano's emulsions, works fine, just don't let the bleach dry on the screen, and don't dilute it.

DO NOT LET BLEACH MIX WITH THE DEGREASER. IT WILL MAKE FUMEs THAT COULD MAKE YOU VERY SICK.

That said, bleach works fine.
