zero-grade steel wool is available from the hardware store for removing fret stains. remember to mask your fretboard while scouring your frets....

fast fret isnt really for cleaning, its more for maintaing strings n ur fretboard.

masking is usually sufficient enuff, u dont really need any fret protector. just put a few layers instead of onny one if u want to be safe. if u really still feel unsafe then i think the onli place to get fretboard guards wld be online, or u can try some shop at peninsular, but i doubt they'll have. or ask mikemann.

use a hard toothbrush, brush off the stuff on the frets and make its all clean, then wipe with lemon oil

sorry for asking this here. i hear alot of ppl talking abuot lemon oil. i wanna ask wats the main use for lemon oil? wat can i use it for?

 

[hofner]

i try to avoid lemon oil and stuff...too much chemicals isn't good for the natural oil in the wood.

to each his own i guess

Can be used to clean your frets and fretboards.

I clean all my guitars with it. D Addario lemon oil.

Damp cloth. No chemicals (though technically water is a chemical lke everything else) and cheap and easy - unless you don't have water, say, f you live in Bolivia.

Wet a cloth and rub hard. Works for me. Also for dirty frets.
