You can buy a 3 ft.(1mtr.) section of CPVC water pipe with a 3/4" diameter and put a cap on one end. Then the strings can be slid into the tube, and the tube filled with alcohol to sit. The alcohol can simply be poured back into the container afterwards. Don't use drugstore Isopropyl alco, cause it's mostly water. A paint or home depot type place will have denatured alcohol in their solvent sectiom and it's close to 100%. Be sure to close the container as alcohol loves to suck moisture from the air. After soaking, just shake the strings to get the most off. The rest of the alcohol will evap pretty quickly. But the truth is, I usually just "coil and boil". If you take that route, remember: finger- funk tea will put hair on your chest, so don't waste that wonderful brew you just made.
