^^^ My first full-time job in the early 70's was in a parts plant where I used a oven-sized vat to dip parts in for cleaning.
The vat contained heated carbon tetrachloride and it looked like a thick white cloud wafting back and forth.
I would use a chain-fall with a basket of greasy parts and lower it in and raise it out without stopping. All parts came out looking like new. It was incredible how well it worked.

About 2 years later they shut the cleaning vat down....liver and kidney damage was found.
