Just want some fact on cleaning flame sensers. Our local gas company has taken it upon themselves to try trouble shooting gas furnaces. I have gone to many homes after the gas guy has been there and all I had to do was clean the flame senser(correctly I believe). I always use emory cloth to clean flame sensers. The gas guy has been showing the customers how to clean flame sensers(which is great, I always show my customers how to clean the senser(correctly). Only thing is, the gas guy is telling them to clean the senser with a dollar bill?? They say that using steel wool or emery cloth is ruining the senser, but every time I have to go to the home owner, their flame senser is not clean at all(because gas guy cleaned it with a dollar bill?! Maybe this should be under comedy and humor. Anyway, I would appreciate any and all product literature on proper cleaning of flame sensers. As many different brands and makes as you can supply. I will be printing these out to end this once and for all. Once I can have facts in hand, I will make them buy me a beer while I expain to them that they should not be giving advice on gas furnaces.
PS. Im also curious, if cleaning the flame senser works OK with a dollar bill, would it work better with a fifty dollar bill.. lol.
