[Histonet] cleaning microtomes

We use Paragard but it leaves such an oily residue that we also use a
little alcohol afterwards...

I have a question that may seem silly.  After you are finished cutting
on 
your microtome, what do you use to clean it?  Our lab in the past
always used 
xylene or alcohol to clean it.  A few new people have been hired in the
lab and 
now Paragard and baby oil have been used.  I'm just curious what the
majority 
of people in histoland are using.  Thanks!
