There is a recent
thred on here (my apologies for not finding it...) about using a warm water "blow-out".. followed by a dry burn.... followed by another warm water "blow out"... and then letting the atty dry.
I've been using a method very similar to this for a while now, and IMHO, it is pretty awesome. It doesn't use any "interesting chemicals", doesn't use any specialized equipment, and anybody can do it. And... well... I've been getting amazing results.
YMMV
