I just set the blade in, give it a few squirts of L.A. Awesome and let it soak. I have a plastic handle that I glued a couple of magnets into. I use this to flip the blade when I am scrubbing it with an old toothbrush. Usually just a brush around the circumference on each side will do it.
That's a good idea about using the bottom of an old bucket. My 5 gallon buckets are too new, but I'll look for an old one somewhere.
