Hand scrubbed with a sponge and a bit of dawn, then just a drop of mineral oil. 1 down, 199 to go. Think I need to ask Santa for an ultrasonic cleaner.
For only 199 chips, I might suggest just sticking with the manual method. If you're going to clean a full set then a cleaner may be in order. Just depends on how much you value your time.Think I need to ask Santa for an ultrasonic cleaner.

No needle to do the rim and hat cane? Look great

A bit a grime adds character.
Use the @detroitdad method: tell the wife you are going to buy something on Amazon to make the job easier. See if she volunteers to save the money and do the job herself.
Nope. I'm not that anal (yet) about my used sets. A bit a grime adds character.
Looks much better to me. Nice chips.

Mine too. I ended up having to pay for a trip to France.whenever I buy something related to chips, she feels it gives her the right to buy yet another piece of jewelry or some new titanium knitting needles.

I like this. Actually did this with one set -- left 1 dirty, uncleaned, $5 California Bell chip in with 399 clean ones. Kind of like a 'where's Waldo' game. I haven't hosted a 1/2 game with that set yet, but I'm interested to see what other players reactions would be when they see how dirty the chips used to be. Maybe they'll understand and appreciate the cleaning effort.Maybe keep a couple dirty extras just to remind yourself of your good work...
