By far our most popular railing option! #deckorators #cablerailing

What happens here

Begin by taking the specialized cable cleaning tool, which appears to be a small white string or cord designed to be pulled through the cable holes in the railing posts. Thread one end of this cleaning tool through the first cable hole at one end of the cable railing section. Once threaded, pull the cleaning tool along the entire length of the cable. Repeat this action for each individual cable in the railing system, working your way from top to bottom or vice versa. This pull-through method ensures comprehensive cleaning of the cable's surface, reaching areas that might be difficult with just a cloth.

Goal: Thoroughly clean each cable using a pull-through tool.
