Rising the metal also stops it from smelling.

rinse them

A little trick: The cans that need a little soaking [inside] first I bend a little so that the lid will stick inside vertically so as not to fall to the bottom and mess up my soaking. Then unbend to get the lid to drop out for further cleaning, or drop to the bottom if soaking was sufficient. Bonus: Keep a small magnet nearby to grab sneaky lids that fall onto the top of the drain and become a pain to get out (well at least per the dimensions of my drain - lol).
