[Histonet] cleaning microtomes

I just use a 3 x 3 gauze square and a little elbow grease.

I have a question that may seem silly.  After you are finished cutting on 
your microtome, what do you use to clean it?  Our lab in the past always used 
xylene or alcohol to clean it.  A few new people have been hired in the lab and 
now Paragard and baby oil have been used.  I'm just curious what the majority 
of people in histoland are using.  Thanks!
