Grill cloth cleaning [message #783] Sun, 22 July 2001 14:17 Packerleap Messages: 14 Registered: June 2001 Location: San Diego, CA Junior Member Hi! A "new guy" here. I've had Kustoms since the late 70's though. (Only the old plexi stuff though.) It's great to find a site like this with folks who arn't fooled into believing that the latest and greatest gear will make them better players! Of course, my question is: Has anyone found a good method for cleaning dusty, dirty, spilled-drink stained black grill material? I would love to hear of any recommendations. Thanks, John Report message to a moderator

Take an old toothbrush and start using the solution and toothbrush to scrub it. Don't scrub too hard though. Wet and scrub an area of about 4" by 4", then follow behind with the crevice tool. This will suck the grungy solution out of it. Keep working until you've completed one scrubbing. Let it sit overnite and then go at it again. Repeat until it is clean. If you want to make the grillcloth look black, like it did when it was new, email me for my tip. Let me know how this works for you or if you have any questions.
