cleaning your feather edge with water (bucket), soap and brush It is best to clean your tools as soon as you have finished using them. It is much quicker and easier this way. The best way to clean your tools is to use warm water, a mild detergent (washing up liquid would be suitable) and a soft brush.
rinse feather edge (hose pipe) Simply wet, soap, brush and rinse.
