    Simple Green is the best thing I've used thus far. Pine Sol works too, but leaves the models a bit sticky.

    Like Tynskel said, simply green works great. But also theres this stuff they sell at the local Dollar store, it's called Totally Awesome (yes thats the name lol)or it works just great and its only a dollar.

    I alway soak mine in a glass jar for a few days and then scrub with a old toothbrush. If need be you can always put them back in if paints really bad.
