That's nothing, you should try cleaning a FleshLight after 2 years of abuse.

Something like CLR should do it.

And for those saying that he should just get a new flashlight, Maglites are not cheap.

I keep a 4 cell maglite in my car for emergencys. I think I'm about to replace it with a Glo-Toob FX Light soon though.

After use, remove the gel insert from the plastic canister and run hot tap water through it to remove fluid deposits. To disinfect use rubbing alcohol.
Towel dry or air dry the gel insert. The gel insert will feel tacky or sticky after washing - this is normal. To restore the original silky feeling of the insert, powder it with cornstarch. Powdering it is not necessary to care for the insert.

Using soap or detergents to clean your gel insert will deteriorate the surface of the gel insert, resulting in a tackier feel.

Some people have asked if we could put a coating on the gel insert to lessen the tackiness. Unfortunately, the coatings that are currently available are toxic and may cause rashes. We consider our customers' health and well-being first, and will not use any substance that is not considered safe in e very way. We are constantly working to improve our products. Once a safe coating is available to us, we will make it available to our customers as well.

To properly re-position the gel insert inside the plastic canister, reach through the small end of the canister and pull the insert down into place.

Better then a MagLite? Those are probably the best traditional flashlights made. Please tell us what you would suggest.
