just wash it with soap and water.
Dust it with corn starch after it has dried off and it won't be sticky anymore.

yeah, i use flour.

apparently corn starch is the best but flour works fine, so talc should too.

I use Dick Dust from Whizpacker.com  Works like a charm I think and it's a little different than just corn starch I think, but it works fantastic.

I wash it with soap and water then dust it with cornstarch.

From what I have read, talcum powder is not good to use because it is associated with certain cancers of the reproductive organs. Stick with corn starch.

It's better to play it safe.

I wash mine with water (never tried soap) to get all the visible sh*t off... varying temp from hot-cold, then drying and dusting with corn starch.

It's like what they use to make Corn Dogs and stuff. Kinda like a corn flour. Just go to your local market/grocery store, look where the flour would be and you should see it. Or maybe ask a Clerk? It's cheap, too. Or should be.

Other than cornstarch, you could get some baby powder, aka talcum powder--- pretty cheap and does the job. I believe it's pretty easy to get it unscented as well.

Definitely this.  100% corn starch is best and you can get a big box for cheep at any grocery store.

I just take a plastic sandwich bag that's big enough to hold my packer, throw enough cornstarch in there to dust the whole surface (not much, relatively-speaking), then close the bag and shake it around. Then I pull out the packer carefully and pat the extra powder off with a towel. Keeps a mess from happening and you can save the excess corn starch in the bag for next time.
