How greasy makes a difference. Really greasy I'd first use paint

variety of cleaning. Not as clean: hot TSP or Dawn in can & shake.

Greasy as in new fasteners in a box from China, with whatever the hell
kind of goop they put on them. I'd prefer to not be using solvents.

Hmm, I was ready to say put them in a metal strainer and agitate them
in acetone, Then put them in the dishwasher, with the best grease
cutting dishwasher soap you can find with google.
So skip the first step and be sure to use hot water.

How quickly will rust start?
