For a guitarist, the guitar is his favorite weapon that must be properly maintained starting from the appearance, condition, and performance. But the cost required to treat the guitar is not small. Just cleaning the guitar must use a special cleaner that is very expensive. But is there no other way to keep the guitar clean without spending a lot of money? Of course there is. Indonesians are very creative in their brains when it comes to saving costs. This is an alternative way to clean the guitar enough by using baby oil. Yes, baby oil is usually sold at the pharmacy. This oil is later used to clean the guitar which in fact is made of wood. How to? here are the steps.
1. Remove all strings
to simplify the cleaning process, all guitar strings must be removed.
2. Clean the dust
Wipe the entire surface of the guitar using a clean rag or cloth.
3. Oiling
start pouring oil on the other lap with enough amount to wipe the body part of the guitar. Apply to the entire surface of the guitar body. Then pour it again with a smaller amount to rub the neck and fret board.
4. Cleaning details
Also clean all the guitar parts that can't be reached by the lap. Like bridge and dreyer. To clean the dreyer you can use a cotton bud to reach the hardest part.
5. Drying
After all parts have been cleaned, now is the time for drying. Drying does not have to be high temperature or dried in the sun for fear of damaging the texture or color of the guitar paint. Just leave it in the room and let it dry.
That's how to clean a guitar that is simple and doesn't cost much. Indeed the results are not as good as the original treatment. But this is not too bad for guitar lovers who are saving money on marriage capital. Oh yes. one more. Don't forget to reattach the guitar strings so that they can be used again.
