I clean my current chips very lightly. I use a soft bristle boothbrush with some dishwashing soap. I dont scrub them, but rather just clean them. I never clean my older obsolete chips. Never. I clean my current chips that will be traded. Ive never once heard a complaint. However, that doesnt mean that everyone was happy with them, it just means that no one has ever told me about it.

I guess now would be a good time to ask if anyone has ever had a complaint about the chips I have sent in trade. If anyone thinks i shouldnt have cleaned them..please...lets hear from you.
