Use this synthetic, high quality spray lube on your knitting machine when the carriages become hard to push, the machine metal surfaces feel dry and papery, when there is a lot of dirt on the knitting beds where the carriage rides or just to clean the machine surface. Give the can a shake before you use it. Take a soft cloth or a paper shop towel and squirt some spray lube onto the cloth. Notice that the scent of this product is mild and not overwhelming! Wipe off any dirt from your machine. If you need to clean the back rails or the inside of the carriages, just spray it directly and work it in using a stiff brush. We recommend a bristle artist's oil paint brush about 1/2" wide with bristles up to 3/4" long. When you are finished cleaning, a quick spray of the lube over the clean surfaces will usually be enough lubrication. Also works great for automotive use.
