Hi Fredster,
I use a small ultrasonic cleaning bath which you should be able to get fairly cheaply from some jewellers. They use them for things like cleaning ear rings, stone settings, etc. The one I've got has two small baths (approx 3" dia x 2" deep)and small screws can be put straight in the baths or you could put them in a thimble maybe.
This stops the entire bath getting quickly contaminated by the dirt which is removed. You can also add detergent to the first bath and rinse in the second. As I said mine is only a small cheap affair but it works well for small parts. I would have liked a "real" laboratory type but these whilst much more powerful are pretty expensive.
cheers paj
