How to Clean a Guitar

How often should you clean a guitar? Cleaning your guitar twice a year ensures that it lasts as long as possible. It may seem like a tedious exercise, but the next time you change the strings, it will also clean the rest of your guitar.

What is the best cleaner for a guitar?

Guitar cajons are best cleaned systematically and thoroughly. Paper towels or cotton rags are best, and the use of abrasive cleaners, as well as abrasive brushes and cleaners, should be avoided.

What to clean guitars with?

Gather your materials. Very little equipment is needed to clean a guitar. A soft cloth such as an old T-shirt or sock will suffice, as will a little water, glass cleaner and guitar polish with pure carnauba wax. The electric guitar can be cleaned like an acoustic guitar.
