Title: Cleaning white caps
Post by: jackpilot on November 22, 2020, 11:19:41 AM
Any magic product for cleaning the toggles white caps?
Unless you use the Japanese method of wearing cotton gloves, those little buggers get finger natural grease and end up not so white.
I tried dish-soap... not really effective.
Any other  liquid  that would'nt ruin the cap?

Hi Jack

I have tried many many products, the one that i find the most effective are the pre-soaked disposable kitchen cleaning wipes.

They have a light degreaser in them that removes the finger grease etc.

Using harsher chemicals will make the silicone rubber expand over time and eventually they come off.

Jack, there's a product called magic sponge that my wife introduced me to. It will clean marks that seem immpossble to shift and they sell for pennies.

Most of those are the same item, but some charge much more for the same thing. We always go for the cheapest. 😊

Jack, I think he is talking about the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge.  You can find it in your grocery store.
