Here is a file cleaning tip from @dawngilldesigns - “Repurposing rather than composting my old @Truthbrush bamboo interdental tooth brushes as needle pins to use to card my files....I find my files (cut 4, 6 and buff) can clog easily - I repurposed 2 bent dressmaking pins of different thicknesses and a sewing needle into file carders. Just pull out the knackered brush and using pliers insert the pin into the hole. I expected to have to glue them in, but didn't need to. A bit of epoxy would be my glue of choice though.” Thanks for letting me share Dawn!
