Sally Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm having difficulty cleaning those awkward little bits of dust that cling to my clamshells due to static.Every one has to be cleaned & I won't pour the wax in til they are dust free, or so I hope.Does anyone have any tips they may care to share?Sally.

blazerina Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I haven't tried this since I don't use the clamshells yet... but as I read your post an idea hit me... what if you just rub them down with an anti static dryer sheet? Or rub a basting type brush down with a dryer sheet, and then use it to dust out the clamshells. I know they also sell a spray that is supposed to relase wrinkles. I'm not sure what kind of residue this would leave or even if you then wiped them down after spraying to fix that problem, if it would be worth your time or effort. But I would think a dryer sheet would at least help. What if, lol.... you put a batch of say 20 or so at a time (clamshells that is) in the dryer, opened up, set on 'cool' /gentle and let them tumble with a dryer sheet for about 5 mins? Yeah, I know... sounds crazy and maybe I am. But you'd be amazed where creative thinking will get ya when you have a big job to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Night Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I was thinking of a hair dryer too. Or canned air. Or vacuum cleaner. I like the dryer sheet idea too. I've used that one on my hair in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 That is a great idea. I am going to have to try that. I noticed the dust really collects on them or whatever is flying in the air at the time. Blow drying might be the key... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Candelishis Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Or some of that "air in a can" that is supposed to be for dusting keyboards and electronics. That was my first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
