My decades of "research" have shown that, for me, the best solution is this:
1) a really good nail brush:

(CAD $13 a dozen..... what's that a quarter USD $ a piece?)
The bristles are tapered; you can use them over cuts with gentle pressure, but the harder you scrub the better they clean!
_and_
2) a decent soap the cuts most oil and grease:
"SoftSoap" liquid hand soap
get the "SoftSoap" brand not a knock-off!
Initially work this in with minimal water to get everything loose, and then rinse it all off.
The real beauty is that this solution is NOT expensive.
NOTE: I previously used an "orange pumice" type of hand soap, but I eventually developed a bad reaction to that; extremely dry, raw, bloody skin on my knuckles. Very painful.
