How to clean cheap dice chips? (1 Viewer)

[Chiibipotato]

After a lot of uses, I figure it's time to clean my cheap dice chips. Is it safe to use dish soap + hot water?
Also, does anyone have any tips for getting stains off? This set was second hand and some of the white ones are stained brownish yellow. Possibly a coffee spill at some point.

Honestly, you can’t hurt them. Whatever works.
Cynically, garbage disposal.

Time to take a small step up and you’ve come to the right place.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Orbital sander.

Wouldn't you spend more on cleaning products to clean them than you would on just replacing them with new dice chips?

Thanks! Yes I am looking to buy a premium set off of the forums. But I will probably keep my cheap dice set for less organized sessions away from home - hence why I'd like it cleaned.

Not if it's just soap!

I will echo the others and say throw them in the bin!

But if you really want to know, since they’re just ABS plastic, you can just use whatever cleaning products you have at home and not damage them.

Throw or buy a new dice set

Not worth the efforts needed to clean them

Thanks everyone for their opinions!

How dirty we talking? They've always seemed to have been stain resistant. My dice chips from over 10 years ago still look fine.

Not extremely bad. Just dusty/grimy. Some sticky - basically dirt from wear and tear. They're usually played on a cheap dining table.

I had a stick shuffle stack of Tina's. I just washed them with hand soap, as a bunch, for about a minute. Layed them out to dry and they were like new. I think the dish washer might not get everything. But if you do, don't use the hot or sanitize option. The plastic might warp or stain, like other plastic item tend to do in the dish washer.

Soap and hot water
Or buy a new set depending what your hourly time is worth
