I now buy new stuff in one-gallon steel buckets with a dip tray because I had the same thing happen - the stuff rotted out the bottom of the bucket. I do like having the little tray that comes with it. And admittedly, I tend to use the stuff only every several years, but I accumulate a bunch of parts and run them all through at once. But it's not as easy to find as it once was, a lot of the auto parts stores have stopped carrying it. Part and parcel to today's "replace rather than repair" philosophy.
Last couple of years for dirty grease and grime I've taken to using industrial oven cleaner, scrub with a wire brush and wash it off into an oil drip pan. Neutralize with vinegar. Not so good for carburetor parts, but it sure does wonders on engine blocks and everything behind the engine.
