I retrieved a basket style salad spinner that had a broken spin mechanism, from the trash. When I am ready to remove the brass from the solution, I just pour everything into the strainer basket, inside the bowl that goes with it. Wash solution goes back in a plastic coffee can, and brass gets rinsed in the sink. Clean and rinsed brass goes in an aluminum pie plate and then warms in the warmest place I can find; either in the sunshine, or on top of the house heating boiler.
