What does it take to oxygen clean a regulator? Is it expensive?

For recrational nitrox (40% or less) you don't need O2 clean regs.
Well, that's an opinion that is not shared by the equipment manufacturers and many agencies. And it has already been discussed: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38505jeffkruse2000 once bubbled...
Exactly! Don't let the dive shop scare you. 40% or less = no special cleaning.

Nothing that sees EAN40 or less needs to be changed at all, so your BC or drysuit can be as dirty as you wish.PRL once bubbled... I,m also a little fuzzy,
I tough that regs have to be Nitrox ready, meaning that o-rings have to be changed (regular o-rings can't hold up to higher oxygen content.
and I'm pretty sure thats not the same as Oxygen clean.
If I'm wrong, how do I oxygen clean my BC after every dive?
Or if I'm using my drysuit should I be oxygen clean as well?
No disrespect intended, I am not a tech diver and don't know alot about the subject.
