Tips for cleaning steel screws... seriously

[SteveK]

I used PB Blaster on some screws, that worked well too. Just be careful what you spray it in; it says right on the can that it will disolve a styrofoam cup, and many plastics probably don't like it either. You don't want to come back a day later and wonder why your screws are all over the basement floor.

Prescription pill bottles seem to be impervious to most things, and I've used some Glad disposable food containers too.
