Lastolite washing instructions

Hi all,

I recently aquired a Lastolite diffuser from a mate who hadn't used it for over 10 years.

It is quite discoloured and has what looks like watermarks on it. In its present state, like a dirty old net curtain, it absorbs quite a lot of light and I fear it may give a slight 'tobacco' cast on white objects.

Can anyone recommend a cleaning method / product to restore it to a lovely pearly-white hue? It looks quite a delecate piece of kit and I don't want to ruin it!

You can get cleaners especially for net curtains at most supermarkets which should do the trick - they're very gentle. Can't remember brand names off hand but if you ask I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction.

Cheers,

I shall try some of that

Denture tablets work great, I have used them on a few flash brollys & they come out spotless! Fill your bath with warm water, add a few tablets & watch the grime vanish!. Milton fluid is also very good.

Wow! I would never have thought of denture tablets! (or Milton for that matter).
So, an evil mixture of net curtain cleaner, milton and denture cleaner it is.

Cheers chaps.

You were probably only joking about mixing the three cleaners together, but I wouldn't try it. There is the potential they'll react together and release something obnoxious like Chlorine, which you wouldn't want to breathe in .

Robert - in danger of becoming part of the nanny state .

We'll forgive you Robert! Nannying is a dirty job, but someone's got to do it...

Phew!

No need to worry,as you guessed it was posted with my tongue firmly in cheek.

I'll try a spot test with each to see which is best and so I don't ruin the whole thing if one method happens to be unsuitable.
