If the wife isn't around, you could throw them in the dishwasher... :wink:

Sherman has it though. Simple green and a good rinse...

But I sometimes bring them back to my shop and let 'em soak in my carb cleaning tank.

I use spray carb cleaner then blow it dry with compressed air. Basicaly any degreaser/detergent that will break down the dirt and oil should work as long as you can rinse it clean after.
