How do you remove oil from small metal parts other than scrubbing? I have a large pile of small metal drum parts that are completely covered in what appears to be motor oil. I have removed the oil from the larger parts with Simple Green and a scrub brush but I'm definitely not looking forward to cleaning the smaller parts that way because it'll be very labor intensive.

Any products that aren't too toxic? Thanks.
