An apparatus (10) for washing automotive, aviation, marine and other general parts with a cleaning solution during maintenance, repair and rebuilding operations, includes a solution holding reservoir (40), a wash basin (14) with a drain (28) facilitate return of the cleaning solution to the holding reservoir (40), and a pump (44) in the holding reservoir (40) for recirculating the cleaning solution through a discharge spout (50) and into the wash basin (14) for washing parts therein. A first valve assembly (34) between the drain (28) and the cleaning solution holding reservoir (40) closes during periods of non-use to prevent vapors from escaping to the atmosphere. During a recycling process, a second valve assembly (66) releases used, contaminated solvent from the holding reservoir (40) into a distillation chamber (60) where the solvent is heated to produce vapors. A condenser (100) cools the vapors to a liquid state, yielding non-contaminated cleaning solution, which is directed into the holding reservoir (40) for future parts washing as demanded.
