I've been doing this for a long time now.  Inverted keg with a perforated pvc pipe going though the lid opening and QDs through the in/ out posts.  Hot PBW - I usually find a deal on a 50# bucket every few years.  I've been going 15 minutes just because.  I think less would be OK.  What do you all do?

I just fill my kegs with hot water and Oxi. I let it sit for a good 30 minutes or so. Rack it out of there, rinse it and then follow it up with Starsan solution.

I do the same. Sometimes it goes for 10 but most times longer because I am doing other things and forget. I use it for my kettle and ss fermenters too.

This. Gravity feed into the next keg and repeat until all kegs see at least a half hour or so with the hot oxiclean.

I have a sump pump washer, but I only break it out when cleaning the big fermenters or when I need to clean kegs quickly.

 

I now just fill up the keg with the hottest tap water and a scoop of oxiclean, leave it overnight, and rinse out the next day. Anything left after that gets brushed off easily enough, and then I dry, pressurize, and put away till the next use. I always check for pressure before I use a keg now as a quick test to know if the keg seals up correctly.
