I use a sonic cleaner and often have to run it through several cycles. Simple Green works well in it along with water. Be sure you rinse the parts well and blow them off. Now here is the gist of what I really want to share with folks who haven't experienced it. Never leave parts in Simple Green overnight. Never. In the morning you will find the parts have turned black and it is the very devil to ever get them back to a decent finish. What is good for a couple of hours may well be disastrous if you leave the parts in it for too long.
