Beastmaker cleaning question
December 04, 2013, 07:46:15 pm
So we've just taken the ceilings down in our hall and had it all replastered.  Mykonos breasted maker is very dusty/mucky. No plaster but loads and loads of dodgy dust. As I can't go back in time and take it down before we started, any tips from the heavy duty users and wall owners on how to clean it up?

I would dust it down, then give it 2 or 3 layers of wax polish.

I would not sand it.
For mine I use a brush with natural bristles and it works very well.
Plastic bristles are useless.

Do you mean like brushing it with your beard or chest hair.

So when my neighbour is tapping me up for leftovers for his piglets. I need to do a deal, the pigs get the food if I can borrow one to brush down my Beastmaker.
I do like a bit of bartering

Cold wash, 40 deg, no spin cycle. Don't use frabric softener.

Or dishwasher like any other climbing holds.
