I clean mine after every project!

I use pipe cleaners to get down in the bobbin area of my machine. It picks up a lot of lint that is under the bobbin area.

/clotilde has been mentioned a few time in this tread as having attachments. Is there some way to look up other member's profile to PM them. Thanks for any help.

where I am unable to vacuum in the small spaces, I use 'air in a can' to clean out my sewing machine's 'under belly'
|
I use a smallish artsy paint brush to pull the lint out of my Juki -
It works great! I clean out every 2 weeks (when i'm on a sewing tear ;) ), when I oil the machine mostly. |
Hi, where did you purchase these. Thanks!

I've heard that you should not blow air into your machine, because it just moves the lint around. Suction it out instead.

I use air in a can and a small paint brush to clean the lint out. I've work in sewing factories for many years and we had air hoses to blow out the machines and we had less problems when it was done daily. A drop or two of oil after cleaning, too.
