Cleaning Guitar Fretboard

Cleaning your guitar fretboard is an essential step in your guitar maintenance, as the most used part of your instrument it's the most susceptible to the build up of dirt and grime. When you sweat all over your guitar, it dries and evaporates, causing the wood itself to become dehydrated. This can lead to cracks developing as well as marks and stains that if left untreated become unremovable. This build up of dirt and grease can also cause permanent damage to the fretboard in particularly bad cases.

Best Way To Clean A Fretboard

Please note these cleaning products are only for use on a Rosewood, Ebony, Pau Ferro, or any other ‘dark’ wood fretboard. They won't work on a maple fretboard due to the gloss/lacquer used to seal them, which will either leave you with a greasy build up, or potentially even damage the gloss/lacquer.
