    We were taught to make a file cleaner with a sheet of brass stock for
    each grade file cut. Push the file across the end of the sheet of
    brass, along the direction of the cut, until you have cut a series of
    ridges in the brass, that match the cut on the file. Now this brass
    file card can be used to drag clean the file by drawing your file
    along the cut, "raking" backwards first along one direction of the
    grooves, then turn the file and draw it backwards along the other cut
    (asuming your file is cross cut). This will remove any forein matter
    from your file, and each side of the brass card can be made to clean
    a diferent cut.
