How can I remove old plasticine from plastic cutters?

Question

I´m talking about plastic cutters and shapes which are covered in last year´s plasticine.

There´s too much of it to pick it off.

Is there anything I can soak them in which would dissolve the plasticine?

Just soak them in hot soapy water over night then rinse them under hot running water. I have that problem with plasticine and play dough at work. (I work in a school).
