Cleaning is comprised of 4 elements:
time, temperature, chemical, mechanical action
If you don't have a parts washer, and/or want to clean with a water based
solution, hot water and an alkaline detergent, with a nice long cycle in a
dishwasher with a lot of mechanical action (potscrubber mode), will give you
the best results. Typically, laundry detergents are more alkaline than dish
detergents, although stuff like Tide, etc, is not very alkaline.
YMMV (your marriage may vary)
