How to clean my zigzag

[stihlmadasever]

Hey all,Just looking for some advice on the best way to clean my zigzag,it was pretty bad with dirt and grime etc.

Ive blown an airline around it removing most of the crud,however some seems pretty solid.

Would it be ok to wash with hot soapy water and a old toothbrush..?

Any advice gladly welcome

Thank you in advance folks

Good thread... Does anyone grease/oil/lube the joints/moving parts?

Never oiled or greased mine,is it recommended to do so..?

I chucked mine in the washing machine. Sure a dishwasher would work just as well to

I use warm water with fairy liquid, let it dry the graphite powder in the swivel and a tiny bit of wd40 in the links and wipe off. Works really well for me, leave it to soak for 10 min if its coated in sap
