As soon as you use them, rinse with hot water and soap/washing up liquid. Don't leave it to dry out before doing this.

I've always found a 40 degree delicates cycle the best way to clean cloth caps!

After you use...turn the can upside down and spray until it's just air going through.

JUst get hold of some new caps - far less bother.
Super lazy, me...

What's acetone? How long do you leave them in there?

My brother uses acetone to remove glue from his head.

i just fill the sink with hot water and pile a load of cillit bang in with them. then come back to them bout an hour later, works a treat. thats right after ive used them like, leave them to dry and there usually done.

1L of Acetone should be around 5 Quid.

look at some laboratory supplier like RS Components, Fisher Scientific or Sigma Aldrich.

buy new ones cos you don't want a semi-clogged splutterer on your next stencil.

There's a phrase you don't hear often! Please explain?

quite true I can imagine stencil artists dont want a sputterer especially in a quick illegal spray up.

Whereas my favourite nozzles are those lovely coughing caps hacking up their paint infected lungs just like me their user;}

For those not in the know a partially clogged cap is when some paint remains coated to the inside of a previously used cap modifying the paint flow resulting in either a lessened paint flow or a spattering paint effect often referred to as mottling.
