Abstract: A method of cleaning and/or sanitizing jewelry and other small parts includes the steps of adding a microwavable fluid into a microwavable container and placing the container into a microwave oven. The microwavable fluid is heated in the microwave oven to a temperature of at least 170° F. The container is removed from the microwave oven when the desired temperature has been reached the jewelry and/or small parts are placed into the container to submerse the jewelry and/or small parts within the heated fluid and agitated, such as by spinning the container to mechanically remove contaminants from the surface of the items being cleaned and chemically cleaned with the use of a fluid that is a cleaning fluid.

Abstract: A portable cleaning device comprising a generally cylindrical container for receiving a fluid to a predetermined level and defining a container axis and having a bottom wall and a top opening at opposing axial ends along said container axis; a basket for supporting items to be cleaned and dimensioned to be removably receivable within said container, said basket defining a basket axis that is substantially coextensive with said container axis when said basket is received within said container and being configured to be rotatably supported for rotation on said bottom wall about said axes when received within said container; and spinning means for spinning said basket on said bottom wall about said axes when said basket is received within said container, whereby spinning said basket within said container on said bottom wall when immersed in fluid below said predetermined level creates turbulence and agitates the fluid in contact with the items to be cleaned to dislodge soil particles and contaminants from the it
