An excerpt from the article: There are of course several ways of cleaning brass. Vibratory cleaners are very common as are tumblers. Both use dry polishing media such as walnut shells or corn cob to which you can add a polishing compound. I used to use this method in a vibratory set up. There are a couple of reasons I stopped using this method. First off, it was noisy, extremely noisy. The cats climbed the walls and the wife chewed me a new one each time I started the contraction up. I tried to sound proof the device in a box and put the box in the garage, but still, it buzzed throughout the house. Secondly, a health reason, some of the dust that comes off of the spent brass is left over primer compound and lead bullet bits. I noticed while I was pouring the finished brass off, there was this dust cloud released, stuff that I did not care to breathe in. And finally, I always ended up having to pick bits of polishing compound out of the primer pocket. This is a ROYAL pain to tell you the truth. Sure, when you go through and do resizing, the decapper should push it out, but I always feared that something would still be plugging the primer hole. So, I looked around and modified other people’s ideas and added some of my own and came up with the following technique. This technique uses a washing method. The only downfall that I have figured out is that it takes at least one extra days step in order for the brass to dry out before reloading. Other than that, it is quieter, it is as fast, it is cheaper and it does not produce any harmful dusts.
