Cleaning your Instrument

Flute:
- Wipe the lip plate with an alcohol wipe.

- Wash the cleaning cloth in the laundry. If you are concerned about the colour running, you can hand wash with laundry detergent.

Clarinet:
- Fill a short, narrow glass half-full with mouthwash. Place your mouthpiece upside down, ensuring the mouthwash does not touch the cork part of your mouthpiece.

- Wash the cleaning cloth in the laundry. If you are concerned about the colour running, you can hand wash with laundry detergent.

Trumpet, Trombone & Euphonium ONLY: How to give your instrument a BATH

*Make sure you have a cleaning snake, slide grease, and valve oil*

- Fill bathtub with warm (not hot) water and squirt of dish soap

- Take apart entire instrument (but set valves aside as the felt must not get wet. Also take note of the numbers on the valves)

- Soak instrument, slides and mouthpiece for 20 minutes

- Use snake to clean inside each piece

- Rinse, remove from water, and set all pieces on a towel to dry

- Grease all slides and then reassemble (the valves have numbers and must go back in the right order)
