With the exception of the core planes them selves I'd place them in the
dishwasher with the standard dish washer soap. I've done it many times
with great success.

The core plane has to be cleaned far more gently and I'd avoid it if
possible. The problem is not water but the thin wires breaking. At a
minimum I'd clean the connectors with a solvent.
