Best way to clean an old deck? (1 Viewer)

[philhut]

I have a set of Modiano 4 pip poker size cards that i love and can not for the life of me find replacements for. Anyway They have been well played and the faces are showing slight scuffing but still lots of life left. The issue is that they have accumulated grime making shuffling difficult. The cards "look" clean but compared to the unused jokers/points card they are "grimey" as heck. I was considering 2 options...dumping them in the sink with warm water soaking for 20mins or so and wiping them down then leaving to dry.....Or dumping them in the ultrasonic with soap/water @45 Celsius and letting them go for say 3 mins and rinsing them off followed by a same dry.

What would you do? I would like to coax a few more games out of these decks. Or any leads on poker size 4pip standard size or bridge in std size 4 pip that I could buy for a reasonable amount in Canada would be great.

I don't own any Modiano, but I have cleaned several plastic decks with Windex and a microfiber cloth

Do you lay the cards out to dry for awhile afterward? If yes, for how long?

A second microfiber cloth works for drying. They are laid out to dry afterwards but not for any predetermined amount of time. They are dry when they are dry.

Microfiber and warm water with a touch of dishwashing soap. I wouldn't put any harsh chemicals on cards.

Agreed, mild detergent should be enough. If you want a fun time you can put them in the dishwasher.
