Question- What is the best way to clean artificial plants?

Plecostamous do a good job of this in-tank :)

Otherwise they make a fizzy plant cleaning tablet that you drop in a bucket

Or just whip them into the dishwasher.
 
"Or just whip them into the dishwasher."

I would reccomend avoiding this. When I pull stuff out of a dishwasher, the items smell clean, which means they still have residual substance on them like JetDry. Fish certainly will not appreciate the soaps from a dishwasher.

I clean my plants by boiling some dechlorinated water, then I grab the plants with tongs and dip them in the water for a few seconds.
