To clean your hedge trimmer blades, you can use a mixture of warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove sap, dirt, and debris. For stubborn residue, a plastic scraper can help without damaging the blades. After cleaning, rinse with water and dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Applying a light coat of lubricant or vegetable oil can help protect the blades from corrosion.
