Yeah I wouldn't personally use any kind of chemical cleaner or WD-40 either.
That is just me, and the reason I wouldn't is that I think fish can smell and taste things better than we give them credit for. It might not make a huge difference but I think every advantage you can get while fishing is worth the extra effort. The reason you put the scent on in the first place was to attract fish, why put something on there that will potentially cause the opposite effect?
Hot water and a brush can go a long ways. Even if you can't remove all of it, is it a big deal either way? I don't think some leftover scent remnants is worth the hassle trying to remove?
