I use white toothpaste and a toothbrush. It works great. Take care.

Take Milie apart and clean with WD40 or paint thinner.

I use a brush my wife bought me for cleaning out my nails and a little grease fighting dish soap. Does a really good job.

That's why I am not at all a fan of orange or green G-10.

WD40 works really well on G-10. They sell WD pens at home depot for about $2... so you don't need to take anything apart.

I just use a toothbrush and Dawn dish soap. Take your time, rinse and repeat a couple of times and orange G10 will look like new.

I use GooGone on my orange Millie when it gets gunked up. Cleans the scales right up with very little effort. Leaves it smelling orangey fresh too! :D
I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. I LOVE MY MILLIES

Take a shower with your knives. Great bonding time.
I used to NOT like thumbholes. Until I used one .Until I held one .

I kind of like the "burnt" patina look my orange urban is getting. Reminds me that its being used a lot.

Goo Gone works awesome on most anything I've used it on...haven't tried it on knives yet though. Don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. :)
