Ive done it on big parts. Was wondering about small parts in a wire basket. Bad thing is that its a line of sight thing and would have to be stirred around now and then to clean everything completely.
I`ve had good results using electrolysis. Never tried on small stuff, but if you can suspend the items in an old tin can and use the can itself as the sacrificial metal. It might work good the small stuff would be surrounded in the can.
