I’ve washed car parts in the shower before at my apartment. No hose? Bring it upstairs, get naked, hop in with the dawn and a rag. Effective, but crude ---

You can wash gun parts in the dishwasher as well. Actually, people strip wood stocks and run them through the dishwasher. When an old dented stock soaks up water, it expands and pushes dents out. So once it’s all dry, it’s an easy sand and refinish. ---

One of those industrial beer glass cleaners that you would usually find in a Pub or Club would be the go I recon..? Basically just high pressure steam.. A place I was renting before I met the kids mother. The entire area under the house was a Garage/workshop. It was the best. I ran a compressed air line up into the kitchen with an outlet under the sink. I’m surprised that no one else has done it and has become a standard fixture in new builds these days? Compressed air in the kitchen is more handy than you would initially think.😆 ---

When we moved into our latest house, they had an airline from the garage to the basement utility room. I never asked them why though. I ripped it out. Maybe I shouldn’t have cause it wasn’t hurting anything, but I remodeled the garage. My suspicion is that it was to blow out the drain that occasionally backs up. ---

Aud’s historically figured that I’m “Half A Bubble Off”🙃 So to help perpetuate that thought,I’m actually loving this..!! Dawn makes a Platinum Powerwash Pre-Soak Spray,so I could see hitting everything with that and hose off outside first.. That’d make things a little less messy for the drain and whatnot.. Then,while the ink’s drying on the Divorce Papers,I’d run it through again.. I’m trying to come up with the best crud-cutter powdered soap to load in there.. Maybe check with the Pro’s at a local Barbeque Restaraunt.. Those baking trays and plateware really get crudded up,so I see valve covers and cylinder heads the same way..!! Carry On,Mate..!!🤩 ---

No reason you can’t just have a parts dishwasher in your garage. Might as well have an oven to dry them out as well. ---
