Cleaning Ar-15 Brass
Can i put my brass in boiling water and dishsoap with detergent to clean my brass or will boiling the brass compromise the structural integrity?

it gets hotter than that when the charge goes off. You will be fine. warm water will do just as good.

Unless your water has a lot of ammonia, or you are using industrial grade cleaners that are extremely caustic, no harm at all will come to your brass.

It's been said, but I'll say it once more.....It'll be fine. Just stay away from amonioa. That'll kill your brass.

It's fine but talk about overkill. Just buy a cheap $30 tumbler.
Though I remember a long time ago when I was new to reloading I would use vinegar and salt to clean my brass. It worked overnight.
