What is the easiest way to clean the icing tips after use. I have a dishwasher but...????

I soak mine in really really hot water for about 10 minutes then put on the sexy yellow gloves and spray them with the sink hose. A quick dunk and hand wash in soapy water and they are good to go again.

I don't use the dishwasher for any of my cake stuff since I turned my oval pans all funny white looking in it.

Good old fashion soak in hot water and dawn!

HTH

I just use very hot soapy water., works like a charm

i actually put mine in the little basket i have to wash my babies nipples in. just make sure when you get them out you set them upright to dry so they won't rust

I chuck mine in hot soapy water as I'm finished with them. I then just rise them out and dry on kitchen paper

This is going to sound strange, but I put mine in a bowl completely covered with water and a few drops of dish liquid. Microwave for about 2 min. Squeaky clean!

I work in a business where more than just the cake decorators clean the icing tips. Some of our employees accidentally put our tips in the sanitizer water and now there is rust on some of them. Does anyone know how to get that off or do we just need to buy new tips? We have quite a few tips and would hate to buy an entire new set so I would appreciate if anyone knows a good rust remover that can be used around food.

you can remove rust with coke but I don tknow how it would work on tips
Guess it wouldnt hurt to dry it

Iuse the microwave trick too and it works great!

Metal in the microwave for 2 minutes?

AHot soapy water too, might trying that microwave method though

Microwave here too , just make sure they are well covered and don't be tempted to touch them when you take them out straight away. 

AI know that this post is kinda old but.....I cut the coupler from my decorating bag and put all of my tips, into a boiler and boil them to a rolling boil. the couplers, tips, the decorating bag portion i cut off and all.....i pour it down the kitchen sink , tips and all and leave the tips and couplers in the sink in the drain. then i boil another pot of water , with nothing in it, bring it to a rapid boil and pour it down the sink behind the first pot, over the tips and couplers. The hot water makes it easier for the decorating bag to release from the coupler.I save a little of that hot water and pour it into a cup with dawn in it and put the couplers and tips in that cup and let it soak. I throw the decortaing bag plastic away, put all the tips into a dishwasher mesh bag I got from wilton , and then i put it into the dish washer, i hate washing tips one by one...i still use my tip brush on occasion though, but this is the way i learned at a bakery i used to work at.
