Cleaning and storage
How the chips are cleaned and disinfected after use, how long they need to dry, and where they are kept between sessions. Ceramic, glass and resin do not all tolerate the same treatment, and threads and electrical parts have their own rules, so the pages here are split by what you are actually holding.
