Is that a brush as in sweeping brush or a rectangular jobbie that has a soft material ? I have one but I think you need to go the route of spray with a cloth like used for spectacles but I aint no expert in this field. Fran might lend you his converted washing machine!

The one I had before was more like a sweeping brush. Can you post up a pic of the one you have?

Standard issue one would be as below.... you get them as Clearaudio, Project, Audioquest etc... all the exact same just a screen-printed badge. I'm pretty sure I got mine in Cloney for relatively little.

I had that Clearaudio one before but sold it along with the hifi nearly 2 years ago. Think Clearaudio charged 23 Euro for it back then. Ah I was just wondering if anyone had any spare that they were willing to let go of.
