Double bingo, use dishsoap and warm water for regular BBs, let soak and stir every few minutes, then rinse in warm water until there are no more suds, then let dry fully before use.
Graphite is more labour intensive, I soak in cola for 20-30mins stirring every 10 or so, then load into a wool work sock and wash a few times with normal laundry, rubbing the sock in your hands between each wash. When you can rub a couple BBs on your jeans or a white cloth without leaving a skidmark, they are ready to go after they dry fully. Graphite has the same effect on hop up rubber as oil does, and the less friction you get on the hop up (because of oil or graphite build up), the more hop up you have to apply to have the desired effect, which means a bigger lump in the barrel that the BB has to pass by, more fps drop and a more unstable BB flight at longer ranges.
