dipping it briefly in seawater prob helps too - i know someone who dipped his VG - at least we know that thing is water-tight :lol:

but seriously, toothbrush. or a plastic or wooden toothpick to scrape the really stubborn bits, don't use a needle or safety pin though.. the metal may be too abrasive for the rubber.

Hmm, I tried a used toothbrush, but think it's not very effective. Do I need to use a new one, or need to choose specific brands or types, soft bristle, hard, flexible??? Or really need toothpaste or seawater?? :faint:

Must use Oral-B, the toothbrush most dentists used. :sofunny:

Bro, try dipping in some mild soap before scrubbing.

Wah!! Your dirt so strong ah ??

Are you brushing right? up and down? instead of left and right? :sofunny:

If not try brass brush? :knock: :sofunny:

Think wiping cloth with a bit of those fabric cleaner (3m type) can help? Or mild detergent/soap?

Test first before use.. I have not tried it..

Avoid using tissue at all.

Cotton buds can but cannot reach the grooves. Toothbrush shd be ok with mild detergent/soap?
