i leave it in a bucket of pure water for an hour or so then take it out and all the bits have come out of the bristles to the top of the water.

polish worked a treat no more gritty noise nice and smooth when you collapse and extend the pole must have picked up some sand/grit over the last week or so  ;D ;D

i flush mine out about once a week by opening the sections about a foot or so and popping a hose down the base section for a min flushing out the dirt.then i wipe down all sections with a cloth and lightly spray with WD40.also i run a cloth over the pole hose.

i thought wd40 was bad for the poles ie the glue etc ... that will def void your warranty if gardiners find out!
