In dry weather Dawn makes the skin on my hands crack while Dial
doesn't, so I have two soap dispensers in the kitchen and bath.

I'm thinking I'll need something a little stronger than just a
detergent, ideally something that I can just dip/swish with a
basket,
instead of hand washing each part, but I might give it a go just for
fun.

An industrial chemist taught me to economize on solvent by dipping the
parts in three numbered cans sequentially. When the first became too
dirty it was poured out, the second poured into the first, the third
into the second, and the third refilled with clean solvent. Let the
solvent mostly drain off the parts before moving them to the next can.
