If you're really looking to save $$$ and use supermarket products,  plain distilled vinegar in a little hot water will take care of the residue left by alkaline cleaners.  And you can easily tell when you've rinsed it sufficiently,  just sniff.

Gaaah, I never thought of that before. Star-san is dang expensive if you don't buy in bulk, and I get nervous trying to mix it in small batches to get the concentration right just to do a rinse. White distilled vinegar would be perfect for neutralizing the Oxiclean film, is premixed, and less likely to burn my hands compared to eyeballed small batch Star-san solution.

I typically use a mix of oxy and dishwasher detergent.  So far, I haven't encountered anything that won't come clean.

As far as rinsing with Star San, I do that anyway before using my equipment so it's not an issue for me.
