Cleaning head bolts?

75 460 - stock D3VE heads.

What is the best way to clean stock head bolts? I want to be sure and get them as clean as possible before installing them again.

I will be sure to dip them in oil before they are installed, but how do I actually clean them without causing any damage to them? Soak them? Carb cleaner? WD-40? Simple green?

Thanks for any suggestions.

then blow them off with an air hose or if you really feel the need little bit of brake clean then the air hose but I usually just hit with the wire wheel, then air hose and call it good.
