Trowel cleaning

Clean as you go is fine, I always clean my regularly throughout day. But if you’re using it everyday even when cleaning, it looks clean but slowly the fat builds up on it same as handboard

@zolco tell him that’s not true, you keep everything spotless
 
Prevention is better than cure. Clean water for every trowel, cleaning it regularly. If u keep cleaning it with dirty water it will stain the trowel and ul hada scrape it. Better to clean regularly before It builds up.

So you change the water after every clean? As the water will be dirty after you clean the trowel. Don’t know how you find the time
 
No not always, which is why I have to scrape it. But we have a lab who changes the water regularly enough when asked so doesn't need scraped all the time.

I just wipe it after each use, then leave it in the bucket of water overnight if I leave the tools behind. That film sort of skim just wipes off the next morning. I'm not a freak or anything but just hoovered my extractor out :ROFLMAO:
PS used the plumbers hoover for it, that will teach him

Misread that, ideally try and clean after every pass, but realistically, probably every second pass.

Just spunk the excess gear into an empty bag or wipe it on the side of the bucket then wash it

Quick scrape. Wire brush on the tang, WD40 and wipe with a brush and it’s like new every day. Takes 2-3 minutes.
 
Bi card overnight with just enough water to cober blade. Little scrape every few hours when poss. Brick acid does note on plaster
