Dunno about quickest but you'd be hard pressed to get them any cleaner than using this method

Cellulose thinners for taking gum off

By far the best method

DO NOT USE THINNERS! BE WARNED!!

I used thinners to clean mine and they ended up in the bin. Had to buy another set.

It destroyed the rubber thats bonded inside for the needle jets and also stripped ali off the insides of the passageways. They were ruined.

Carb cleaner or soda blaster are the safest IMO.
