After inspecting the tail twigs and making sure everything looks ok before reaching for a stiff bristled brush to work off the worst of the dirt and what not off the foot stands/stirrups and metal band on the tail getting them ready to clean then polish...

After just a few minutes work Cass has most of the dirt and such off the metal parts that he starts the cleaning stage using a semi clean cloth to work off any dirt, mud, or what not that was still on the metal parts. Getting into the nooks and crannies that the brush couldn't get to removing every thing that is not part of the broom's metal parts. After a bit the dull silver-gray of the metal is revealed Cass changes the cleaning cloth for a clean one to polish the metal parts to, he hopes, a nice dull shine.

Cass works on the metal parts for a bit and nods at the light shine on the foot stands/stirrups and tail binding band, not as bright as some seem to be getting but still much nicer than the dull dirty and ugly looks it had before he started.

Taking a moment to stretch his arms, shoulders and back; Cass gets ready to clean and polish the handle of the broom.
