How to Clean a Leather Burnisher?

T
I've searched the forum and haven't found insight on this one, and would appreciate your insights.

I have several leather burnishers (Porper's, Last 4 Ever, and Tiger). During a night out if a shaft feels like it's starting to drag, I use the more coarse side first, and then the smooth side.

Especially for the Tiger with it's light color, I can easily see how the coarse side picks up the chalk and residue that's removed from the shaft during cleaning. I understand that's expected.

So one question is, once a leather burnisher has picked up this chalk and residue aren't you just wiping that back into the shaft when using the burnisher the next time?

And is there a way to clean a leather burnisher to remove the chalk and residue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi 14-1 players:) Post your 2026 runs in this thread and I'll keep this first post updated with everyone's high run. Videos are welcome, but not required. If you play on multiple table sizes, I'll record the high run for each. If you have a FargoRate and would like to share it, I'll add it to the table.

Rules are relaxed for practice: cue ball fouls only, call pocket, any rack method allowed, any cleaning methodology allowed, run does not have to start from break shot, run can be practice or in an actual game, any size table is fine. *Feel free to make the rules more strict if you prefer for yourself.

someone in another thread mention DCC and TS not being WNT events. i think field strength, and in DCC's case the buyback, are why. i've been told by fairly reliable source that MR as never been a fan of the buyback. DCC and TS are both basically pro-ams. In TS's case much more am than pro. IMO neither will be WNT events anytime soon.

I think neither event uses the rules that the WNT uses.
