Buckshot Mitchell, SASS 24941 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Howdy, I have recently aquired a secondhand canvas and leather cartridge belt. The one that looks like a fire hose with leather cartridge loops sewn on. The canvas needs a good cleaning. How is the best way to clean it without damaging the leather loops and buckle ends?

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 You can spot clean canvas with a Dawn & warm water mixture. Use a small sponge and a toothbrush for bad dirt; dab dry with a clean cloth. Try not to get a lot of the solution on the leather parts. A little patina adds character.

watab kid Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 my wife saves some old toothbrushes for just this type of task - you can avoid all the ramifications of following roosters idea , or retire yours early and start fresh with a new one for that same purpose , keeps those domestic calls to a minimum , law enforcement will thank you , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 One of our cats likes the taste of the toothpaste that my wife uses. We have caught him numerous times chewing on her toothbrush. He doesn't like mine - I use a different brand of toothpaste. We both now put our toothbrushes in a drawer. Multi packs of toothbrushes are available at the dollar store. I don't trust their toothbrushes for my teeth, but they're great for gun cleaning and stuff around the shop.
