An apparatus (10) for washing general parts and other articles with a liquid cleaning solution, the apparatus (10) including a basin (22) and a wash area (26) defining an upper chamber (20), a hood (30) to enclose the upper chamber (20), a pump (48) in the basin (22) for recirculating the cleaning solution to the wash area (26) for washing the parts and articles therein, a lower holding tank (40) for containing a charge of purified cleaning solution, and a second pump (44) for circulating a portion of the charge purified cleaning solution to the wash basin (22) for use during washing operations. Heating elements (70) in the basin (22) boil the cleaning solution therein, with the hood (30) closed, and a vacuum pump (60) creates a negative pressure in the upper chamber (20) drawing vapors through a condenser (80) to yield purified cleaning solution which is directed to the clean solution holding tank (40) for subsequent transfer to the basin (22).
