Q&A for How to Clean a Guitar

It depends on what kind of guitar you have, but I would not recommend using it. It may damage your guitar.

Just dampen a cloth and wring it out and be very gentle while cleaning. You may want to use a polish after you're done.

Peel it off your guitar carefully, then clean off the remaining residue with Goo Gone or a similar product. Since the Tacoma Thunderchief CB10C has a body made of wood, make sure the product you use says specifically on their packaging that their solvent won't damage wood finish, and you should be fine.

Polishes are usually made to be used on a variety of wood. Just make sure your polish can be used with koa (it must be written on the bottle). Also, you can use oils while cleaning your guitar to prevent the wood from drying. It will also make a huge difference in the way it looks.

Use a slightly dampened cloth with half a teaspoon of soap. Do not use a soaking wet cloth, as this will damage the instrument's sound and may rot the wood, which could lead to the wood getting softer and eventually breaking.

Use Goo Gone on a soft cloth such as an old T-shirt. Rub the adhesive using a light circular motion.

Try using a single brand new toothbrush without using toothpaste. No water, just a dry brushing.

Yes but don't soak them. Instead, use a slightly damp cloth. If your guitar is in relatively good shape, this works miracles.

It's okay if you don't have guitar polish. Polishing helps your guitar look shiny, but it's not essential. Regularly dusting your guitar with a soft, dry cloth keeps it free from dust and grime. For a deeper clean, you can slightly dampen the cloth with water, but ensure it's not too wet, and gently wipe the body, neck, and headstock.

Water can be a safe and effective way to clean your guitar, especially if you lack specialized cleaning products. Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly moisten it with water (not soaking), and gently wipe the guitar's body, neck, and headstock, avoiding electronic parts and openings.
