Cleaning trays

Anybody have a good solution to cleaning the silver residue out of trays? I don't want to use anything which would end up scratching them?

Pottasium ferricyanide i.e., bleach. Cheers, DJ.

DJ, I'll have to try the pot. fer., sounds like a good idea. I have always rehalogenated with a bit of straight chlorine bleach till the stains were gone, rinsed and then let the used fixer stand in the tray for an hour orl so. This seems to work fairly well too. Regards
