Re: cleaning tuning capacitors
I'd go for the dishwasher too. But first, put a few pieces of aluminium through (even a small plate wrapped in aluminium cooking foil would do) just to check the detergent doesn't attack aluminium.
As has been said, caustic sode (sodium hydroxide) attacks aluminium fairly quickly. Washing soda (sodium carbonate) will, albeit slowly - and this is a likely ingredient of dishwasher tablets.
