or Cleaner
Lynn; I have one of those cleaners I inherited from really
large utility company where I retired from. It seemed like the
machinist was always hooking the wire to a 6 inch crescent wrench and sticking
it partially under the door mat. He would wait for some poor
unsuspecting soul to pick up the wrench and zap the hell out of them.

Humm, pressure washing???? Just popped into my
head - I wonder??
Naturally, I would like a simply, straight forward,
non-hazardous, inexpensive and effective method - oh, yes, and one that
does not involved a lot of work {:>)

Years ago, you could take your plugs to any filling station, and use
the official Champion plug cleaner. A blue/grey box with a rubber cover that
had a hole in it to insert the plug.
You pushed a button and wiggled the plug around a bit, and the plug
came out like new.
I don't know if it was done with glass beads, or walnut hulls, or
sand.
Along side this box, was another that had a glass window in so when you
screwed the cleaned plug in the box, you could see the end of it through the
window.
You connected the high voltage lead and opened a valve to increase air
pressure in the box.
The plug would keep arcing right up to full line pressure, where a
dirty plug would not.
No longer available because "A" few people know what a spark plug is,
and "B" Lawyers.
