I remember seeing the advertisements for The String Cleaner when it first came out a couple of years ago, and being pretty skeptical that it would do any better job than the old washcloths, baby diapers or microfiber cloths that I tossed in all of my guitar cases. A friend of mine, who can’t help but try everything new that comes out, ordered a couple and gave me one and I’ve been using it ever since! I am fanatical about keeping my strings clean and wipe them down thoroughly after every set or rehearsal. And even with that I change strings every show or two as I hate to deal with dead strings, and especially hate breaking strings live!
So one day I pulled out The String Cleaner just to see if it could get anything that the towel hadn’t and I was amazed at how much more stuff came off the strings, especially on the underside. I now use The String Cleaner at the end of every show and I’ve noticed a difference the second night on a set of strings. Will that old rag in the bottom of your gig bag work? Sure, but if you want to go the extra mile, you won’t be disappointed with The String Cleaner. Voted Best in Show at NAMM. – Paul Schille
What would you do if you want to clean the dust off of your guitar strings without removing the strings? Use a dry or damp cotton t-shirt and run it up and down?
I used to take a thin cotton cloth and wipe the guitar strings up and down, and slide the thin cloth under the strings as well to remove the dirt as best as I could. But I found it is tough for me to clean my guitar strings completely because there are still some dust under the strings and other areas which I’m not able to get rid of. I have to wait until the day I’m changing my guitar strings, then only I could clean these areas thoroughly. Ever since I had been introduced with this cool little device called The String Cleaner, strings cleaning seem to be so easy than anything else. This guitar string cleaner is so convenience to use and saves me lot of trouble and time. It makes string cleaning a whole lot faster and is real useful for impatient guitar player like me, because most of the times I have to set up and pack up real fast.
