Fluff and stuff

Post by scotty »

Hey Ski, Just wondering whats the best stuff to clean your bridge and saddles with? Im looking for a quick and easy method,Im thinking WD40 and a toothbrush?? What you recommend? Personally like the idea of a wee bath for them that will be quick and easy.

Loosen the strings, pull off the bridge, and use some naphtha (lighter fluid) and an old toothbrush.

I don't use WD-40 due to the polymer and/or silicone content, but instead use light mineral or clock oil in a needle-type dispenser thingie; a drop here and there on screws and saddle bottoms once cleaning is done.
