Good way to clean drawers (Psocidae frass)

[nomihoudai]

Hi, I have a rather unusual question to the community, or at least I haven't seen it yet on here.

The first Psocidae rampage has moved through my drawers, and I was deep freezing everything. (Nothing too serious happened, just a few common bugs lost their bodies).

Now the problem is that there is a lot of frass in my drawers, which have a plastazoate bottom. The plastazoate has a very rough surface, and whenever I try to clean the frass off, I just produce huge stains. Does anybody have a good idea of how to properly clean it?

Thanks.

Have you tried using a vacuum cleaner? That's what I use to remove dust after an Anthrenus attack. Wiping it with anything just rubs it in.

Yes I tried the vacuum cleaner, I'm also doing something wrong there in handling it. I scratch the surface of the plastazoate with it and this is visible too. Maybe I have to try it again and be much more careful in handling it.

Perhaps a brush attachment?

Use cellotape...the frass sticks to it and the plastazote comes up nice and clean with no damage. It may take several goes to clear up all evidence...

Use a can of computer air duster. It's really good for cleaning Plastazoate.
