I'd second the dishwasher idea, but never done it myself, so don't go too hot...nothing like opening it up and finding a puddle of melted holds stuck to the rack. :shock:

After having washed literally hundreds of loads of climbing holds in the dishwasher I can pretty much tell you that it's safe. I use a little amount of detergant and set it on Pots-Pans. Nice clean holds when done.

If your looking for a quick clean, just warm water and a little brushing in the sink.

Vinegar also works well. We use it at the wall I set for, and it cleans well without damaging the resin.
