cleaning?
once you use them, theyll always be sooty and leave marks. i wasnt aware you could clean them.
i wrap mine up in cotton then plastic so they dont smear black stuff everywhere.
does that help?

In cleaning your body up exfoliating gloves are good to get soot off hands. Cheapo from supermarkets.
We scrubbed a friends poi prior to her flying out and its made the kevlar start to unravel so dont try that. Seen one chap store his staff in a plastic tube with screw ends that kept all clean and my poi are in a tin with a lid that doubles as a container to soak the wicks in.

u can get the soot off your body really easily by rubbing some butter on it and then simply washing it off *works a treat*. As for clothes i don't really know how to get them totally clean again, and most of my old and daggies are sooty now, s if neone knows a cheap trick to clean them that would be super
cheers

I take my handles off my poi then drop the head & chain (both sooty) into a ziplock bag then drop THAT bag into ANOTHER ziplock bag and poof all clean :-) I do it with both poi and keep them in my "poi bag" along with my LED and Pratice heads / chains!

You get some fuels that burn a lot cleaner than others, but the flames tend to be a bit pathetic.
let your wicks enjoy not being a virgin any more.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.
