Hi Mike,

    Are they loose or attached to something? If they are loose, running
    them through a sonic jewelry cleaner might be your best bet. Because
    they are plated, test out a batch first. You can use a weak cleaning
    solution and a drop or two of dish detergent. And do lay them out on
    a paper towel to dry. It's best if you also put them on a paper
    towel, put the towel in a baggie, then swing them around a couple of
    times to get the water out of the holes. 

Cheers,
Tracy
