    Thanks for qualifying that! :wink:

    I just use regular old hot water and soap. I also use some battery operated dish brush that my wife purchased. Toss them in a bowl of hot soapy water and turn that auto-brush on and they come out nice and shiney! 8-)
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    Also use a rock tumbler with pecan medium (crushed pecan shells).
    That's what Barry at Republic Industries did.

    Never have had a problem. But most of mine have come from now closed sold out whatever Republic. Had a few rusty ones one time from someone else but they had sent me extra anyway so I just tossed those old rusted ones. Been playing the heck out of the original ones and still no dirty balls. I keep my Pachinkos clean so unlikely to have any dirty balls. We inspect my balls regularily and if there ever is a problem then the tumbler thing with them there pecan stuff would be the ticket :smt023
