For an inexpensive way to clean your sander, grind down a wine bottle cork against the abrasive disc.
Cleaning residue off your sanding discs, belts or drums will extend their useful lives, but you don’t have to buy a cleaning stick to do it. A synthetic or natural wine cork does the job for free. I discovered this trick by accident while sanding down a cork for a project. The more I worked on it, the cleaner my sanding disc became.
