Throw rear derailer in something?

Is it OK to throw a rear derailer into something like some degreaser? I'm asking about the rear specifically because it has the wheels and one of them on mine is marked "sealed bearing" and the other something about a bushing (sealed?) I don't want to mess it up, but it's absolutely filthy from a wet gritty MS150 last weekend and I'm getting ready to break the bike down to fix it up.
