Ultrasonic Chip Cleaning (38 Viewers)

[LeLe]

Great starter set. Oiled some of the $5’s and $100’s.

Best part is that it only cost less than $200 for the set, in some poker night that is just 1 winning hand pot

Excited to try this out on my new chips, I still need to gather all the stuff to make it happen. My only concern is doing this safely, does anyone have videos of themselves or others following this process correctly?

Cleaned and oiled the latest batch. Recently sold 950 of these, and recently acquired about 1330 of them. Despite my latest intentions, my collection is determined to keep growing!

This is the one I use. I think the phosphate free type is the recommended.

Agreed with @toothpic ... The fake TSP by Red devil will not harm Paulsons. It'll just make them a little thirsty for oil when they're done.

Some people have reported good results with simple green, but I haven't gotten the same results out of mine. So I'm back in the Red Devil camp

Holy crap this is so much faster. Finally broke down and bought an ultrasonic for the majestic star chips (I got 1200 chips). I just cleaned them all in an hour and a half. Agitated with a plastic spoon in the metal basket, 2 tablespoons from a $4 box of tsp from home depot, 100 chips per cycle, 1.5 minutes on. I'm sold.

Little fading on 2 of the purple $500 chips.

Same, purchased the ultrasonic and Sunnyside TSP on Amazon.

FYI, I’ve had good luck cleaning the Majestic Star Paulsons with Krud Kutter. I dilute 20:1 into my cleaner, the dirt just boils off in the ultrasonics. I didn’t have Lundmark TSP available locally. Krud Kutter is also sodium metasilicate based.

 

[Morpheus]

Interesting, with the Krud Kutter. I'm always concerned with discoloration, sounds like that is GTG.

I use this too. No problems as long as you oil the chips afterwards.

I’ve seen no issues with discoloration. I did oil chips afterwards. Here’s the post-cleaning results.

 

[Morpheus]

The chips look fantastic. I can tell that the mineral oil really brightens up.

Did another weekend of cleaning on these Nevada Hotel 5s. Gunk was kind of hard to get off so the salad spinner was ditched and instead I did a batch of 14 chips at a time in the basket and would use a sonicare toothbrush to scrub the chips afterwards with some magic eraser as needed.

You’ll never look back once you do. It helps loosen the hard stuck gunk and gets off some of the easier stuff. Best results are always with a light scrub but the effort needed after a quick ultrasonic is reduced dramatically.

Ultra changes the chips. You need @Ben8257 recipe for soaking. Then there’s almost zero effort cleaning and no fade and no rough chip left after ultra.

Rumor has it @MatB discovered a new tool for cleaning chips.
