Hello to you all, I have found a way to clean up the practiceheads save ( alcoholbased stuff destroys them) and verry good. Mine is over two years old now and still looks new. And yehhh I do use it;0) I use a white wondersponge ( the ones that work like an eraser) and savon the Marseille. ( a French soap, which is a old school basic soap and has been around for ages.) Just look for the nature soaps that people used to use to get stains out of their clothing in the old days, and you will see a wonder happening. The wondersponge helps a lot to, especially with Wolf colors. I use this soap to clean my sponges to and they still look new, only wolf metalic purple stains on them. Brushcleaningsoaps work well also, you can buy them in art stores. Have a nice yearsend tonight and a good beginning of 2009 and a lot of fun at the convention. Jacklyn www.magicfaces.be
