[GreenKeys] Before I give it a try, anyone washed the horsehair padding from a 15's cover

[Pete Lancashire]

Shallow plastic storage container from Home Depot

Cup or two of white vinegar.  It Breaks down tobacco tar (thanks to local
upholstery shop)

Rinse

Didn't have any 409 but had some Simple Green about 5 minutes of hand
washing just like George said.
Left to soak for 1/2 hour.

Rinse

Rinse

Used an old pastry roller to squeeze dry (not from kitchen)

Been sitting in the sun for 1 hour, a very faint smell of lubricant oil

Still very wet, going to take some time to dry
