[GreenKeys] Best Way to Clean Model 15 Slugs?

[steve bennett]

 I guess my answer was way over kill. I was thinking along the lines of a restoration scenario vs just general maintenance.

for the M-15 my suggestion is to get an old rag, 
lift up the typebars a bit from the back rest and 
put the rag under the pallets of the typebars. 

Then you can use whatever cleaning fluid or 
device you want...  if fluid, I would use a toothbrush 
to scrub them!  (an old one is fine!)  or you might 
get one of the brass brushes used to clean files, etc. 

The rag will soak up whatever fluid and crumbs from 
the cleaning and can just be disposed of.  And you will 
not get involved in trying to remove anything.
