Absolutely...They are the ONLY way to clean a gun thoroughly. I put a jar of lacquer thinner into mine and surround it with water then drop entire gummed up actions in and let them stew for a while. You'll never see the inside of a gun so clean. I have a small jar of thinner for small parts. You can also just use hot water and dish soap; not too hot though as most have a hi-temp shutoff. They start back up when they cool down. Give it a try; you'll never go back.
