I was wondering if there was any interest for a chip cleaning service. After spending an hour cleaning 50 chips, I realized how labor intensive it is. I was wondering for like, say, .10 per chip if there would be enough interest in it? The outcome is so amazing, after you clean a really dirty chip, and then oil it up, its a thing of beauty. Just testing the waters.

I ordered 775 chips. are you saying you're willing to spend 15 hours cleaning them for $77?

Well that was an example. I am trying to find a price that is right to where it will be worth it for me to do it, but still be affordable. Plus the longer you do it, the quicker it becomes.

Shipping expense will be the killer.

You can do 50 in an hour?? They can't be too dirty. I think I get about 10 done in an hour, but they are filthy and need some scraping and digging to get the grime out of the canes & concentric circles.

even 10 an hour is pushing it for me with my dirtiest chips. it can take forever to get all the grime out of the h & c's and concentric circles. for my extra dirty ones i'd say 5 an hour, max, and that's at super-speed. i wonder how well that machine would do the job...

Quick'n Brite is great stuff for cleaning chips, but I still only get 20 done in an hour (with some really dirty Discovery Cruise Paulsons).

I've been using the generic equivalent of soft scrub with bleach. It does a fantastic job on the gulfport $1 chips that are a white base. I use a scrub brush that's meant for scrubbing your hands, its about an inch or so wide and 4" long (bristles that is). I wet the brush enough to make it damp, put a dot covering about 1/2 the inlay and with the chip on a terrycloth facecloth, scrub it vigorously full length strokes for 30 secs or so, then rotate it 90 degrees and 30 more seconds or so. Then if there's grime in the circles, go in circles one direction, then reverse it. Wipe it off and check for any spots that need a touch up. Flip it over and repeat. Then rinse in clean water and dry with a paper towel. They come out sparkling clean and all the nasty germs are killed by the bleach. Good enough to eat!
