Ways to clean a significant number of toploaders?
Sitting here cleaning a box of dusty or dirty toploaders one-by-one and there just has to be a better method.
I was thinking the dishwasher might work but I'm worried about melting plastics. Anyone have some tips? |

Not worth your time. Just buy a case of new ones!

Use them as extra protection when shipping cards. I flip them upside down and tape them to the card sandwich. It gives a lot of extra protection to the edges of the card sandwich.

Meguiar's PlastX will get 'em clean. This is the stuff many were using during the pandemic when top loaders were hard to come by.
It is a tiresome process, though. |

I'm just here to curse out the people who put scotch tape on top loaders instead of painters tape.

you don't have to do it all at once.

 You can find PlastX at Walmart in the auto section right beside the car wax shelf. Last edited by REGGIE206; 10-09-2024 at 06:11 AM. |

For tape residue, I use Goo-Gone. I've rescued many almost new top loaders from scotch tape.

Without much effort, you can find a case (1000) for $67 shipped. I’m sure they are cheaper with a little digging. I reuse toploaders if they are in good condition too, but cleaning them to save 6 cents a piece seems silly. |
