just sucks spending a bunch to clean like 2,000 chips and prob never use it again I dont have the funds most do to buy crazy amounts of chips I might just say F it keep like 500 for myself and sell the rest on fee bay

Perhaps they can be rented?

There's got to be a chipper within driving distance you can temporarily borrow one from.

I’ve soaked white chips (1 or 2 barrels at a time) in a bucket with a small scoop of Oxiclean, a squirt or 2 of dishwashing liquid and 1/2 gallon of warm water. Really important is make sure all the grains of oxyclean have dissolved before putting in the chips.
Soak for 15-20 minutes max. Scrub with a natural fiber nail brush. Caution on chips other than white, oxyclean tends to fade the colors slightly, but will return with a small wipe of a cloth that has some mineral oil.
However, I have cleaned a few hundred at a time this way, and it is slow going...scrubbing each side of every chip for 5-10 seconds then grabbing a bunch and scrubbing the edges. Rinse well.

However, I cannot imagine doing this process with thousands of chips.

what about a 2 in 1 grout and tile brush that is what I have been using and it seems to work pretty good

Thanks for all the great answers in this thread, especially this one. I don't have enough dirty chips yet to justify an ultrasonic, so I'm going to try this method on some of my chips.

Important question: Can this method be used on ANY chips? Older THCs? I could swear I read in another thread (that I can't find now) that certain cleaning processes could damage certain older chips if the cleaning liquid got under the inlay. Or what about hot stamps?

 

[Colquhoun]

Firstly, do NOT use oxyclean on hot stamps...it removes the gold shine and leaves a dull brown behind.
I’ve heard that soaking any shaped inlay could be a problem, I’ll let others confirm.
Not sure if it’s ok on anything other than Paulsons.

Oxy definitely eats Burt/ASM/CPC chips. FYI old Binion Horseshoe horseshu mold chips and TRK Large crowns are Burt.

We use oxi clean on TRKs and hot stamps. No issues *shrugs*

 

[ekricket]

I’ve used barkeeps friend a lot on Paulsons only - mostly clevelands. Let it soak on them for about 5 minutes, then some soap and water. Instead of “eating” the crud by oxidizing like oxyclean, it’s acidic so it loosens the crud and removes its adhesion. The grit is trivial, I don’t scrub the bkf without warm water and soap. Ymmv

Oxi on Scrowns... no problem. Oxi on Lcrowns, big problem.
