helena Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Someone gave me a 50pc. set of metal frosting tips. I ran them through the dishwasher as a step one... :) Each tip has it's own kind of special muck inside. None are so awful that they should be thrown away. There are some with white powder, a rust color, a greenish color... Any ideas one how to clean them out? Q-Tips and some kind of cleaning solution?? Vinegar maybe?? Any BTDT? Should I toss them out? The storage box and the plastic rings cleaned up fine. It'd be great to restore the whole set. Especially since it was free! Quote
justasque Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Stores that carry frosting tips also carry a little brush cleaner thingy that works great for getting into the little holes, etc. It's a buck seventy-nine at Michael's. You might try soaking the tips a bit then using the brush to clean out the grunge. Good luck! Frosting is fun!!! 1 Quote

justasque Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Thank you!! I'll be near a Michaels this week. :) Oh, and since the grunge is most likely just butter and sugar and things of that sort, I find soaking them overnight in water is enough to loosen things up. If I can't get it all out in one go, I do what I can and soak again. 1 Quote
Tap Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) If they are metal, I would just boil a pot of water, toss in some Dawn dish soap, and the tips and let them soak for an hour or so. My baby bottle brush, has a nipple cleaner in the end, so if you have one of those, it may work to scrub the tips also. Tooth brushes work also, unless stuff is stuck in a fine hole. I have the little wire brush mentioned by another poster that I use on some star tips, but usually the bottle-nipple brush works faster for washing a bunch of tips at one time.
