Can someone tell me how to clean my shears? I got one harvest and they are so gummed up. Thanks

alcohol to clean. next time, spray some olive oil or pam on them first and everything wipes off.

Combo of both. Razor blades while I'm working to keep them flowing and alcohol when I'm done

I keep a coffee cup partly full of the cheap rubbing alcohol. I keep the shears in there when I'm not using them. Melts the gunk off like butter

Two pairs of sheers, one cup with rubbing alcohol. One pair sits in the cup while you trim with the other. When they get gummed up, swap out for the other pair, wipe off with a paper towel, and your ready to rock. Simple as that.

EDIT: almost forgot the most important part: use the non-blade edge of the clean pair to scrape off the scissor hash before dunking in alcohol.
