FWIW . I use orange cleaner from dollar tree store, . clean with paper towels and wipe the blades down with a blade lubricant from amazon to keep the blade from rusting in my uninsulated shop. that is humid in summer. For Lubrication during regular use, on my laguna resaw king BS blade I use coconut oil spray from the dollar store to lube the blade . so they dont get gunked up with pitch. The coconut being thick also lubes the ceramic laguna guides.

I use "spray on" oven cleaner, which works well but is rather caustic. The orange cleaner might be a better option.

Clay I used to use oven cleaner from the dollar store on plain carbon steel BS blades . but the lagoonie resaw king has carbide teeth . I believe that the chemicals in the oven cleaner will attack the carbide teeth an weaken them . I would only use the oven cleaner on a warm day, outside an clean with a HF brass bristle brush , rinse with water and apply some kind of oil to the blade in a humid climate like ours. I venture to guess that you could also use used thinned (paint thinner) / 10 w motor oil. I also wax my tables in the shop during the summer heat an humidity
