This is worth knowing. The decomposition temperature of silver oxide is 280 C or 536 F. That means that electrodes can be cleaned by heating them beyond that temperature. A gas flame, it could be methane or propane as well as butane should work fine. An interesting idea would be to take a soldering gun, and hook some oxidized silver wire up in place of the tip wire. If you pull the trigger, the oxide should burn off in a couple of seconds. A kiln could also be used, but the temperature is a little too high for a normal oven.

The best way to clean the electrode would be to use a butane flame. It will burn of the oxide(burns greenish) and leave a very clean electrode. Wiping with a paper towel leaves residues in your brew at times, particularly if the paper easily tears.

We have a silvergen and it has a stirrer . But i always clean the silver strips after each batch.
The engineer of the product just said to wipe with a paper towel .

    I don't get any residue in mine so if you don't want any sediment
    then I suggest you revisit your production procedures, methods and
    practices as something must be amiss.
    If you're not using one of those auto polarity reversal units then
    I suggest being more critical about removal and cleaning of
    electrodes at regular timed intervals during production process,
    and if you don't incorporate some form of stirring method if
    brewing larger volumes, then I recommend you do so.

    Don't know your setup so I can't contribute much.
