I know 20 people will say I shouldn't do it, but all I can say is IT WORKS and works well.
I got a bottle of RCBS sonic cleaner fluid. Mixed ablut a qt or so according to directions in a container. Dumped the brass in and let it soak for 24 hrs. 48 if really dirty range brass. Then I drained the cleaner out and put the brass in a sack sewn out of an old hand towel and use a zip tie to close up. This works best if only about 1/2 full so the cases can move freely. Then I take all my old rags from the garage and maybe an old rug and throw it all into the wife's front loader. Run a cycle with a good dose of Tide and 1/4 cup of Borax. Then run through another cycle with just the towels and a bit of Tide to be sure there's no grease or other residue in her machine. . When it comes out the brass looks literally like new. If a guy could find an old used washer to use exclusively as a case cleaner you'd be set. Like I say,many will scold me, but hey it really works well.
