Cleaning your Instrument
Flute:
- Wipe the lip plate with an alcohol wipe.
- Swab the inside of the instrument using the tuning rod and the cleaning cloth. Run it through a few times until the instrument is dry inside.
- 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.
- Swab the inside of the instrument using the cleaning cloth. Run it through a few times until the instrument is dry inside.
- Wash the cleaning cloth in the laundry. If you are concerned about the colour running, you can hand wash with laundry detergent.
Saxophone:
- Fill a short, narrow glass 3/4 full with mouthwash. Place your mouthpiece upside down in the glass. The entire mouthpiece can be submerged, as sax mouthpieces don't have cork. Soak for a few hours, rinse and dry.

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) |
