Cleaning the Striker Channel…How Often?

Now that's a term the young whippersnappers will scratch their heads over. I haven't thought about Funk N Wagnels in decades!

JFootin: very possible. If you keep the spring back you can get a real healthy dose of cleaner in there too.

Oh yea... a helpful hint!! Pipe cleaners work GREAT for getting in tiny spots, but they're expensive. Wal Mart has a bag of 100 for about $3 in the crafts section. Little fuzzy twisty thingy's. They are just like a pipe cleaner, but wayyyy cheaper. And they work really well for jamming into those little spaces.

And cheap Q-Tips too...the ones with the centers made of PAPER not the plastic tubes.

Once you have used the cotton tip, snip it off at an angle, with dykes (can I say that?), and you'll have a sharpe point to use to clean crevises, or point lube an exact spot.
I didn't read this complete thread so this may have been mentioned before...
