how to clean corrsion in wool pile slot

Question

I have slider doors at in a condo at the beach. I am replacing the rollers and the wool felt weather stripping. Being at the beach, the wool felt groves have some corrosion and getting the groves clean has not gone well. Any ideas about a tool to clean the groves or any method reccommended.
Thanks
Bill

Thanks for posting! You might want to try using a small putty knife, like 75-048, to clean out the groove.
