Howdy all. I have been experimenting with different techniques for cleaning sewing machines and I think I stumbled on something really good and I want to share.
First I want to say that rubbing alcohol will destroy painted surfaces.
This is only for plated surfaces.
I had a faceplate that was covered with nicotine and other crud that had been on it for years and years. If you have ever tried to get gook out from inside the groves or fine details you know how hard it can be. I removed the faceplate, removed the tension, and moved away from all painted surfaces first.
I got a bottle of rubbing alcohol, wadding polish, cotton rounds, and some rags.
I just wiped on rubbing alcohol with a cotton round and the gook just melted away. Quickly wipe it off with a rag or it will harden again and wipe it with wadding polish. DONE!
I needed q-tips for in the tight spots around the tension on this one. It took me Five Minutes to get these results on this faceplate.
