cleaning stick

[hoolaxin]

yo, how can i get my stick looking like new again, is it true i can leave it in bleach for a day and it will become white like new
thanks

[checklax]

Clean the head (get the mud/dirt off). Then restring it, dont bother to do any bleach/whatever/artificial/chemical processes, it'll be a waste of time and will mess up the mesh anyway.

you know those stridex pads for acne? scrub it with those http://image.bizrate.com/resize?sq=160&uid=17675068&mid=17895

I use SOS pads when cleaning a head. Don't use the ones with oxy action cause it leaves a very light, almost white, blue tint on the head. Soap and water does the rest, can't say I've tried bleach. Also to get rid of minor scoop scratches...you sandpaper (oh yeah!). Hope it helps

i un-strung the head, and wash it off, then take an old tooth brush, and hardcore scrub the head with Soft Scrub Bleach. makes the head look Brand new from the factory.

good i dea to do if you're selling heads toot hat are used, makes them look nicer.

take a mr.clean magic eraser to the thing...works like a charm

wash it with soap and water, then take rubbing alcohol (not the type you drink) put in on a rag and rub over you head. it will help. all the other ideas are good aswell but most of them contain this alcohol which helps clean.

For a second I thought you were really talking about your face :crazy: When you said you almost turned blue, I thought you were just a really really really pale kid.

I use an abrasive like comet cleanser, and a rough sponge. It makes it look brand new

[CoUgArLAX18]

I wipe some of that strong-smelling mildew cleaner on it and then use a Mr. Clean magic eraser. Gets it looking good as new and then new mesh will make it look even better.

any kind of wipe that looks like a tissue (fantastik, mr.clean, pledge, baby wipes). and if you have mesh and if you're really anal you can unstring and throw it in the washing machine.

can you do this to dyed heads

can you do this to dyed heads
yea but i would just recommend soaking the head in a tub of hot soap and water, then just scrub it with the rough side of the sponge i have no idea what its called but all you need is a little elbow grease and it works for me

and DO NOT bleach the head it will weaken it tremendously and turn it yellow trust me ive seen it happen before

[sirlaxalot125]

I use brillo soap that you use on dishes... it works.

[azlax19]

soft scrub works like a charm

you just have to use a sponge with like hard wires to scrub the dirt out of it

or yeah an sos pad works fine too

goo-gone works great for getting off the extra sticky stuff when you peal off the tape on your stick.

[MiddieMan05]

bar soap and tap water?

[bringthewood]

unstring it. take bleach gel (for the sinks) and a tooth brush and scrub away!!!!!!!!!!

[BravesLaxer]

Just wet the head and scrub it down with a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

[brett23]

toothpast and a tooth brush it works

[fenderDman23]

you mean shaft?

some people also put tape on their heads for supersticious(sp?) purposes and goo gone helps with dirt on the head and left over sticky stuff when yu peel off the ball stop

i just use hot soapy water then goo gone on the really pesky dirt spots and the residue from the ball stop

[Laxattack05]

Yeah the toothbrush is godly imo...

[mmlaxplaya17]

Elbow grease and some soap!

[PearlJam9]

im a big fan of the shower with your stick program but latly ive been lazy so ive been throwing them in the dish washer and its workin pretty good

[Sethlax17]

use tooth paste... besides making it look new, it also makes it smell good

[Silverhawk]

Magic eraser does the trick for me
