need cleaning tips for soap wire cutter

[Zing]

Soapers,
I have a single wire cutter, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PHZKC6D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the tray is HDPE plastic, base is wood. Can you give me a cleaning hack? The plastic is very "gummy" with soap residue and hard to wipe clean. Also, the narrow groove where the wire rests is really difficult to clean. Thanks,

When I had a wood cutter, I rubbed some mineral oil into the wood before cleaning it. That helped to protect the wood so I could more easily wash down the HDPE base. I used a mini-bottle cleaner/straw cleaner to clean the groove. A pipe cleaner, or a double-handed sawing motion with the edge of a wash cloth down in the groove works pretty well, too.

My Bud single cutter is similar to that. I use a toothbrush (a go-to method for grooves such as this) to clean the groove. Occasionally, I may thread a paper towel in the groove to remove any residue.

The HDPE has been easy to clean with a wet cloth, after first removing bits of soap debris. But I always clean after each use, so never have build-up. Perhaps you can use a soft cleaning brush & get the residue off first, then use some alcohol to remove the stickiness. Then clean after each use.

I have a Bud single cutter as well and do the same as you .

I use an old debit/gift card to scrape any soap residue from the surface, and a bamboo skewer to push soap out of that ridge (or any other handy tool). If I want it really clean then I do wipe it with a moist cloth, or spray water first and then wipe it down.

I have a Bud that I wash at the sink. I'm not immersing it in water, but it makes it easier to lightly spray and clean with a microfiber towel and a toothbrush. I then dry it well.

I use the high pressure option on my shower head and then use my heat seal gun to dry it.
