Default cleaning corkers

G'day,

I've just bought a floor corker, ready to cork some melomel and mead
this weekend, and it occurs to me that I should know how to clean and
sanitise it first

I've googled a bit and here is the process I've come up with:

* wipe the compressive jaws with a damp rag to remove surface gunk
* roll up some kitchen paper towel to simulate a cork, press it through
* wipe the compressive jaws again with alcohol to sanitise

Does this sound OK? I'm using some Eno polyethylene synthetic corks, and
practice runs with bottled water were really easy so I don't see any
need for lubricant.

cheers,
Ross.
