I have been reading these cleaning threads for a while. I've seen the oxi-clean threads and the warm water and soap threads....all very confusing.
Can one of you experts please layout the 3 methods above with the exact receipies?
For example, 2oz oxi clean for 50 chips soak for x # of mintues etc?
Thanks for you help in advance.

Silks,
I have tried all of the above and my suggestion is to skip the oxi clean and the warm water and soap and go right to the Diamond chip cleaner. There are several reasons for my thinking and they are: It works much better, It is easier on the chips (especially hot stamped chips), and it is much faster.
The stuff seems expensive at first glance, but it can easily be cut by mixing 1 part Diamond chip cleaner and 1 part water. I bought 2 large bottles and I keep one that has not been used/mixed and the other has been used. I have cleaned probably close to 2000 chips and I still have about 1/2 of an unused bottle and 3/4 of a used mixed bottle. At this rate I estimate I could clean close to 4000 chips with the 2 large bottles I bought. I can't remember exactly what shipping was but I seem to remember it was about $5 so for $45 if I can clean 4000 chips that is about 1¢/chip, not bad at all!
A couple of suggestions:
get some sort of shallow tray. I just bought a shallow tinfoil tray at the grocery store for about 50¢ that is probably 9 x 13 or something. You can layer 2 or 3 in there at a time so you can probably fit about 100 or so in there. Just get them all covered and wait about 10 min or so and then I took a towel with some water on it and quickly wiped them down. I didn't spend more than 5 seconds per chip and they all came out beautifully. Once the cleaner becomes gunky, run it through a coffee filter and reuse basically an unlimited number of times. Just keep the used stuff separate from the new and add some new + some water as needed.
