Dislove a tea spoon of orvus in a dish pan filled with room tempeture water or cold water depending if you think the threads might run/bleed lay the needle work flat in the water do not rub, twist or squeeze the needle work, that will distort the work, rinse the same way do not ring or twist. I would blot dry between two towels and let dry flat on a sweater rack. Also Vacuum the needle work first to remove any loose dirt and dust. That might be enough for a cleaning too depending how soiled the needle points are, there is also a product called restoration for yellowing fabrics. Never never ad bleach to whiten. Hope that helps.

They recommend a Clorox powder type cleanser. I have used it once since I own them. My wife got the stuff mixed with bleach and it makes my hands stink like bleach so I don't like using it. Anyhow. I typically use water and just wash them and you can see the metal wash away. Frequency? Well not very often. I guess this would depend on the amount of sharpening. When you see them turning from white to gray maybe its time, if the grey becomes black its definitely time.

Soak it for as long as you can and then scrape whatever is left. A hard plastic spatula usually works, but since it's stainless, I think it's ok to use metal to scrape it clean as well.

There is a booklet that comes with cleaner that tells you what works - it all depends on what cleaning solution you use. I use purple velvet.

I have not cleaned my colorscience brush yet, but when ready for a refill will most likely clean it as I do all my other brushes. Directions below: Fill two bowls with warm water. In one bowl, add a mild soap and hydrogen peroxide... just a little of each and stir up water. In that bowl, swirl around the brush portion of the powder stick. until water is murky with oils and dirt. Take the stick and swirl it around in second bowl of clean water, making sure everything is off. Take your fingers and run them down the brush carefully to remove excess water - lay on clean towel until dried. Hope this helps!

The small cotton is where the dead cells go. You can clean it by spraying alcohol on it. Take the piece with the cotton on it put that in the tube first then whatever diamond grit you need. Hope this helps.

I don't use any spray or polish with my cloth, it takes of fingerprints fine without it. I don't use it on strings because of the extra grime my strings will accumulate. I use an old tee shirt for that. I guess you could though. HTH

What did you clean in it?Did you try cleaning with a steal wool without soap on it. A fine grade. Can get it at any hardware store. Use dawn liquid dish soap.will have to scrub to remove black marks.The pot should be fine to use since you used dishwasher soap witch is used all the time for cleaning dishes you eat on.I have canning pots that change color because of chemical reactions and are fine just discolored.

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!

When I used it, any excess was easily removed with my finger, or tweezers. I used it on ribbon, metal wire, plastic. I often squeezed out more than I needed. It dries clear, and I used soap and water to remove any on my skin, without scrubbing. Based on the other answers here, it must depend on what you are using it on.

I found it by mistake. I didn't know there would be a needle in the kit. It's wrapped in plastic. I suggest looking very thoroughly through everything to see if you can find it. I never used the needle provided and just used one I like to use. Hope that helps.
