Cleaning My Poker Chips

I just bought some Laser printed Paper Labels from Slamdunk & I was wondering what the best way to clean my chips before I apply the labels.

I have 11.5g A-K Suited chips (plastic w/ metal insert). I was going to use dish soap & water, but I was also thinking that Isopropyl Alchohol would evaporate off of the chip surface & leave no residue behind.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Post Re: Cleaning My Poker Chips

Are your chips dirty? Or are you wanting to clean them just as a precaution prior to applying the labels? In any case, I'd think with your particular chips, you can use anything to clean them ... as long as you can SEE they're clean afterwards ... nothing's really going to hurt them.

Re: Cleaning My Poker Chips

Dish soap + water and a washcloth should do the trick...

11.5g?
I find fire always works best.

I was going to suggest that. Start slow, you may not need anything stronger.

Re: Cleaning My Poker Chips

I want to wash the Bluechip Jamesbonds I just got (they are dirty).
I am actually kind of disapointed, they are somewhat dirty and I also got a few that are pretty severely chipped, I just got them today and I just emailed the guy. I bought them on ebay but he also owns www.pokershowroom.com and he was getting rid of his Bluechip Inventory so he had them on ebay.

How should I clean them?
