After you are done playing, loosen the bow. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe the stick gently. Sometimes this simple wipe is not enough, and you might need to deep clean the hair of your bow. To do so, you will need to take a small amount of denatured alcohol and a soft toothbrush to brush the hair gently. Make sure you apply lengthwise strokes. Once it is clean, please leave it to dry so that the hair does not touch the stick. Once it’s dry, put it together and get ready for your next performance.
