Trick to cleaning door jams?

I have trouble cleaning the nooks and cranies on door jams. I use simple green on the cars that I have never done before, but just use the water that has been shot into the jams after a wash for my own car. Any hints or tips on cleaning door jams? Thank you all in advance!

Any degreaser should work ok that is paint safe. I plan on using Meg's Body Solvent since it's sold in a gallon size and use this for bugs, tar, and door jams and/or caked on grease.

Other than this, just pick up a small little scrub brush maybe.

Luke: I've found a spray bottle with a mix of ONR and warm water does a nice job on door jambs.

The brush I use is a 2" paint brush that I've cut the bristles to about 1/2 their length. This gives me a good stiff bristle and I can work door jambs and trim seams (plus it's cheap).

The ONR/spray bottle is great for all kinds of cleaning with an mf towel and/or the brush described.

I don't have any, but I was at wal-mart today. They had a variety of cheaper brushes that were of blue colors. Some brushes looked nice, other's not so much.

some that I liked were their carpet cleaning brush, their tire brush, and this little brush (maybe only 1 inch of brush by 0.5 inch of brush.) Would of worked beautifully on doorjams and tough grease spots.

If you clean them regularly, QD and a MF should leave them clean in no time.

i think i adopt that one toto, sounds smart with the "1/2" brush.
