Just had my first chip cleaning-gasm (2 Viewers)

Actually got an ultra sonic and it’s insane. Cleans chips so fast.

Which one did u get

I used some Lundmark TSP on some chips for the first time and was beyond impressed. Typically I just use Dawn and a soft toothbrush. Instead I gave them a quick dip in the TSP and then hit them with a nail brush.

......why do you gotta make this weird??!

 

[Wizard]

What a difference! Annoying but definitely worth the effort. Nice job!

This insanely dirty rack of PBCl $25's took me so long to clean but it was worth it once they were finished. These chips really made me wish I had an Ultra Sonic.

This Morning........

This Evening........

Yeah I’m trying to understand the concern around ultrasonic. I’ve done 1,000 chips and for the life of me don’t quite follow the folks that want to get tendinitis hand cleaning hundreds of chips with a magic eraser…..only issue I have is they’re dry so I have to oil after. But even hand cleaning will make them need a little oil. So hand cleaners, please explain why you don’t utilize ultrasonic

It depends on what level of dirty we're talking and condition of the chip. I find that US really dries them out and so if they're already super dry, I don't want to use the US. Also, if they're really caked with dirt and grime and require some scraping and dental equipment anyway, the US is just an annoying step and not sufficient. I think I tested the Joker Wild $1s and the US didn't make a dent, it also dried out the chip (it was dry to start) and I noticed more clay material come off than desired.

For something like those PBCLs, the US seems perfect.

I've also never tried it, but I've heard horror stories with hot stamps, so there's that.

That’s understandable. For grimy I US my horseshoe Cleveland’s and they were pretty nasty…..came out shining

Hot stamped chips are safe in the ultrasonic. It's the detergent that matters.

Sweet also check out this video from @jr8719 on how to clean chippies.

You did this on your table @jr8719 ?! You monster!

I’m reluctant to even play on my table, let alone have unstable boxes of water and assorted cleaning fluids on it!

I bought an ultrasonc and ran a few hundred dirty chips through it. I did not use the revolving salad spinner method, but instead put the chips right in the basket. I found to get them clean enough I had to run the US for a while. Then, the chips seemed a little dry. Oiling helped bring them back to life. But by the time I hand oil each chip, I may as well clean them by hand with a magic eraser. I have ton more chips to clean, but since then I'm reluctant to use the US.

You'd hate mine, in that case. Hell, I use mine as a dining table for takeaways!

Then the takeaway boxes get used to clean the chips! Maybe if you didn’t eat on it they wouldn’t get so dirty?

At least my table and chips get used...
