How to clean a thurible...

Now I that this is probably not a hot button issue among Lutherans (but that does not mean it shouldn't be).  But, if you, like me, have ever faced a thurible with baked on resin, smoke, soot, and unnamed goo... well, take a gander....

Well, I guess you need to bring back the office of Sexton for the dirty jobs. Maybe disposible aluminum thuribles would be the answer.

Here's a thought. Don't use it in the first place, then you will only have to dust it once a year or so.

First, like any good housewife, clean it after each use. Second, the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is great!

Line the fire pot with aluminum foil too.

If you are afraid of using harsh cleaner on a thurible, use a strong dose of laundry detergent in hot water and use gloves.Let the thurible soak for a long period and clean after soaking.
