Herein, can you clean a tack cloth?
Using a tack cloth can be likened to wiping down a surface with a damp cloth, but without the harmful effects of water on your porous surface. A tack cloth is a one-use item, meaning it cannot be rinsed out and reused.
In respect to this, how long does a tack cloth last?
One little known fact is that a good tack cloth can last a very long time if sealed in a zip lock bag after use. Some of mine are several years old and still usable.
As a replacement for tack cloth, use a lint-free cotton cloth with furniture polish sprayed on it. The polish helps clean all the dirt particles and will leave no residue on the wood. Another advantage is that you can reuse the cloth by washing it (as long as it is clean!)
