I like that bathroom cleaner idea. I would try a mild soap. Dishwashing detergent maybe. I bet Simple Green would work real good.

The milder soaps don't dissolve the organic matter which appears to be quite stuck into those fins. Even with the Dow Bathroom cleaner, it takes several applications intermixed with compressed air and liberal amounts of hot water to get a decent job.
Even when "done" you could conceivably apply it again and more crap will come out, although not as much as the original application.
I let the foam sit on the fins for 20 minutes or so until the foam disappeared.
