Cleaning Sharpmaker

#1

Post by GHanson »

What is the best way to clean my Sharpmaker? The manual suggests using abrasive powder and a cleaning pad. Do you use water or clean it dry?

Better ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I'll put them to work today.
Do you clean it after every use or just when the rods start looking dirty?
