My jel piece came out the holder. So just wash it (with clean hands) with warm tap water and a little dish soap. Then rinse it good with distilled. Then I let it air dry or use a hair dryer on low and put it back in the holder being very careful not to touch the bubble. I don't know why a microwave has to be invovled. I use mine constantly; before every play. Then I apply Stylast, but that's for another thread. I also use LP#9 every 4 or 5 cleanings just to keep the serious burned on muck a' ruck off.
Proper cleaning of the zerodust styus cleaner
I had spoken w/ music direct at the NYC show about how to properly clean this product. Mine has around 9 mos. of lower than average use.I have purchased dislilled water and original palmolive dish detergent for the job. I assume that I submerse the ZD (gel portion w/o cap) in to the warm(30 sec. in the microwave) distilled water w/ a little palmolive and then common sense tells me to rinse the unit w/ more plain distilled water after soaking in the one w/ the detergent. I am not sure how long to soak the bottom (fluid) part in the dist. water /palmolive however. Can anyone shed any light on my next big cleaning project.
