you get what you pay for so maybe it's worth paying a few bucks to get em sorted by a decent one rather than getting a cheaper one that just doesn;t do it for ya?
if you want to courier them to the hutt i can sort them on a good qual machine a mates got, ex honda city gear.

Pull them to bits and soak them in white vinigar works well.
Dont put diaframs in though or rubber hoses but seals on jets are ok.
soak for about an hour giving it a bit of a stir up a couple of times then wash in hot water and blow compressed air through all holes and reassemble--works a treat.

Yeah I've had good experience with white vinegar too :yes:

If you can get them down into component parts, then boiling the bodies in Rinso will make them look like new again.
