Well I'm new to gardening, tools I know pretty well. You've got a pretty good process actually. Light soapy water works best on soft handles, otherwise they get gummy and yuck. On hard tools you could use a stronger solution like simple green if you need to cut a lot of dirt and grease. But it's not so good on the soft handles.Cleaned and sharpened all my secateurs. What heaven....a basket of sharp gardening implements. I soaked them in soapy water. Dried them, used a scourer to clean off rust and dirt, sharpened and sprayed with WD40. What method do you guys use? I'd love to know how to improve.View attachment 47352
