cleaning knobs.

I remember i saw a blog where the guy was dipping knobs in a solution.
Im just trying to find out how to clean my Einstein knobs...they are kinda yellow...
they used to be gray!

Thanks

we usuallly put them in the dishwasher...

Gray indicates smoke environment. 
If I can get 2 days with help I will have a crew remove all knobs, sort all the collet pieces on lunch trays, and put the knobs and caps in a light solution of dish detergent for a few minutes, brush, rinse and dry.  The time consuming part is replacing everything with the proper parts.  No place for ADHD interns.
If done in place around sessions, I have careful people use 50% diluted window cleaner (Windex type) on swabs only slightly damp.

Try vinegar water. Some things are alkaline/basic dissolvable, sometimes a mild acid water is better.

Thank God I'm not the only person that does this, although wife does get cross if I mix them with dishes and glassware .

I put the knobs in a pillowcase, close it VERY well and put it in the dishwasher, works very well !

Ditto.

Or the clothes washer.
We used to clean keyboard keycaps this way back when they were worth cleaning.

I have a audio baton tube eq that's white knobs turned a brownish color due to 50 years of dirty fingers, and a little windex on a q-tip worked wonders. They look brand new again!
