I vaguely remember seeing someone made a degreaser that had a drying agent in it.
Basically your screen started to dry right away.
Does anyone recall what that was?

Unless you're using Cap film, there's no need for a degreaser anymore.
Stip the emulsion, apply dehaze, rinse then use a flood rinse to look for contaminates and you're done.

Correct me if I'm wrong especially as I'm just quoting what I was told but apparently to frequent use of haze remover will actually ruin the mesh fairly quickly?
Is that accurate or have I been told a fairy tale?
-
Caustic remover will yes so don't use it.
Non-caustic is 100% mesh safe, been using it for 10+ yrs on frames of all types.
More than enough product from numerous suppliers designed to dehaze ink from the screen with nothing more than a basic pair of gloves.
I currently use CCI GR-70 for my hazing/ink removal as I don't need a respirator to use it. "If I can taste it in the air and it makes my throat dry after 20 minutes of use", I need a respirator so I choose to find a product that requires I don't wear one. The gr-70 does that and is a fabulous cleaner.

I have not used a degreaser in 12 years, just emulsion remover and thats it. No problems at all.

A good pressure washer should make the use of a degreaser unnecessary in most cases.
