We use soap and water in a garden sprayer or whatever  for almost instantaneous results.  Works like a champ.

That's exactly what I do... the garden hose-mounted sprayer with the jar... mostly water, and a little liquid dish soap, hose the whole lot of 'em, and they turn into a compost pile....
Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
