    Love the podcast and although I don’t use cane reeds anymore this was good information. I did have a question about using synthetics with this system. Does anyone use it with synthetics like Legeres or fibracells, or would a simple wipe down with Listerine/alcohol/vodka address the bacteria/fungi growth issues ?

      Thanks Marc! I use synthetics, but don’t use ReedJuvinate to hold them. I was them once a week with soap and lukewarm water, but a simple wipe-down like you mentioned would be a good idea too.
