Hi Linda,
Don't be tempted to try 'file card' - the stuff like a brush with
hard steel bristles - it will only ruin your files. The correct way
to clean files is to use a small piece of copper ( a copper coin is
just right). Hold this nearly upright on the surface of the file at
right angles to the line of the teeth and, pressing down quite hard,
run the coin along the edge of the teeth - on a normal double cut
file this will mean doing it at two different angles across the
file. (I'll try to put a couple of photos on a new page in the
filemaking section of my website to explain this better). As you run
the coin along the teeth it will develop a 'saw edge' which will get
all the dirt out from the gaps between the teeth and leave the fil as
good as new. Doing this regularly will lengthen the life of you files
as they will always cut well and you won't be tempted to put too much
pressure on them, so risking breaking teeth etc.
Best wishes,
Ian
