I find the 306 to be the easiest atty to clean. I dewick everyone before I use it, so it makes them that much easier to clean out. I run mine under extremely hot water for a minute or two, blow out, then do a few dry burns to get the water off the coil. If it glows quickly and uniformly, I call it good to go. If it takes a while to glow, or one side is dark while the other side is orange, I keep at it with the dry burns until all is good. If there is a lot of baked on stuff on the coil, after dry burning, I'll rinse it out again, then let it dry.
I soak all mine in rubbing alcohol for 15 minutes, then let them dry on a paper towel for a few, blow them out and then let them air dry for another day. When I'm ready to use one I do a dry burn for a good 15-30 seconds and I'm good to go!
I use hot water with a polydent tablet, and soak it for 12 hours or so. Then flush the attys with hot water and dry them either by air for a couple days or in a 200 degree oven for 30 minutes or so. My experience with alcohols for atty cleaning has lead to several prematurely dead attys...could be coincidence, but it seems attys washed with polydent solution last a REALLY long time, and generally come back to almost new condition after a bath. Some of mine are still going strong after well over a year.
