Turn it upside down and beat it like a rug. Maybe a vacuum with a hose attachment ? I don't think you could wash it. IMHO, you'll never get it all out of there.
Easy answer - buy another bit of felt and toss the old one.

Neil
LOL! Why didn't I think of that ??? :gaah: .......... :rofl2:Quote:

Neil is correct, buy another or two or five.
It's a hanging strop with 2 felt pads. One has chromium the other has diamond.
Here in Florida, we call that "hanging chads" :)Quote:

I've flushed leather strops with a pressure washer before (just wanted to see if it could be done :) ), but I don't think felt would hold up to that. Neil is right, buy a new strop or 5. You can put a larger grit size on the used ones.
Because I end-up spending much more time cleaning my kitchen counter-top after stropping on it, than I do while stropping on it. What a mess!Quote:
