I think we need to clarify something here.  The original question was in
regards to a "dishwasher" type batch cleaner using a saponifier.  There
also exists  "semi-aqueous"  equipment that can be used with solvents
like Bioact EC-7 and IPA.  Under no circumstances should you attempt to
clean in a "dishwasher" type aqueous batch cleaner using solvents.
There could be a fire or explosion hazard.
