How do you keep your Fenix clicky switch clean?

[Skyclad01]

Ive only had my Fenix L1P for about a week now, and ive only carried it in my pants pocket about twice so far. Now when I look at the clicky, there is all kinds of dust and lint gathered up on it. I cant just run my finger over it to bush it off as it doesnt do any good, all that dust and lint is still on there like static cling!

I dont want to mess with any chemicals on it, though I know some Pledge or Armour All would clean it. But I know it would also make the rubber slippery, which is what one doesnt need for a clicky.

Now that I think of what I just wrote - "like static cling" - would maybe rubbing a downey fabric softner on the rubber boot help to keep all that junk from gathering up on the boot?

Sky, look at the features of the light. (L1P)

It says "waterproof", which translates into at least being submersable in several feet of water for a period of time. You should have no trouble in rinsing that baby off under the tap.

You could put a plastic cap over the Clikie end of the L1 when carried in
your pocket, Most of the common sports drinks have the plastic protection caps,

I just read something similar to that actually:

"Guys,
seriously, take a trip to the hardware store today.
Look in the plumbing sections for Pipe caps, they come in plastic or rubber, and are sized from 1/4 and up.


I use the rubber plugs on the both ends of ALL of my lights.

Lenses are still like new, and so are the switches.

If i lose a cap, i carry a different light so i dont scratch lenses and such.

Added bonus is, that they sit really good with rubber caps on the ends."

I use a can of compressed air that is used for cleaning keyboards. Seems to blow all the crap out of those small unreachable areas.

Old toothbrush works real good.
