Hello Phyllis

    "Cleaning files" its rather an easy procedure, try securing the ends
    of the handles on a wire and let them just hang in a sonic-cleaner.
    Once after a few minutes, rinse the solution off and let them get
    "steam-cleaned". This latest procedure will get most of the metal out
    of the "teeth" and off the file. Now be very careful when steaming
    as the hot steam will run onto your fingers and give you a bit of hot
    grief! Always point the file downwards so this won't happen too
    often. Phyllis, this is a real must when using Platinum, this metal
    has a tendency to 'stick' in the teeth and the resulting filing
    action will be somewhat restricted. Any help????? "Gerry, the
