During the Teonn day game the other day, my sword got a bit of mud on it, which isn’t a surprise, since it was such a muddy day with a heck of a lot of fighting going on. I made sure that there wasn’t any big clumps of mud or anything left on it when I put it away, but there are still some small patches of dry mud on it currently. I figure that can’t be good for it, but I don’t know much about the latexing and all that, so I don’t really know what to do to clean it properly without risking damaging it at all. I would have probably tried just using a damp cloth already, but I’ve heard the swords don’t really like getting wet, so I wasn’t sure if that was a bad idea or not.
Do those who know more than me have any suggestions on what I should do to clean my sword? And/or advice on LARP sword maintenance in general? Just in case it makes a difference, it’s one of the Palnatoke ones Paddywhack brings in. Thanks
