I use baby-oil for conditioning. It‘s a mineral based oil, does not deteriorate over many many years, has no smell, and was already in my household before the first guitar. It‘s basically exactly the same as lemon oil, but without the lemon scent. For cleaning two times per year I just use a damp microfiber cloth. Not much to clean because I wash my hands every time before playing, and after playing I clean the strings with a dry microfiber rag.

This is a great video, but I use a Dremel to clean my fretboards. Dremel tools have various attachments that are great for deep cleaning without causing any damage, and polishing afterwards. Still, what's really great about this video is the detail and how you highlight what needs to be cleaned, and how to clean it, so I would always recommend watching this video before starting any fretboard cleaning job. I cleaned a fretboard earlier today and I was done, in and out, in about 15-minutes, that includes removing the neck, removing fret gunk, polishing each individual fret and then wood polishing the neck in the end - and I didn't have to using fret protectors. The fretboard looked brand, spankin' new! If you're not opposed to trying new things, and you own a Dremel with various attachments, then I would highly, giving this method a try, my friend. I started with a spinning attachment that is like a Brillo/steel wool pad, but softer, and it ate up all that nasty gunk in micro-seconds! I ended with a polishing attachments that left the fretboard looking brand new! I'm telling you, man, I mowed through this fretboard with extreme prejudice!

Nice! I use alcohol as well, and to protect the neck I take a plastic place mat (or thin sheet of plastic) and place it between th strings and the fretboard. This way I can put more pressure on the top of the strings when cleaning the top, and place the rag underneath the strings to clean the underside without drying out the fretboard.

First thing I do to raw necks is sand ALL the varnish off immediately, mist with water , let dry in the sun, or a warm place, then recoat the back of the neck with a high quality furniture polish, let dry and soak in, in the sun. The differance on the neck is off the chain!!! They don't make a coating good enough to replace the true patina of real wood.

For around 25 years or so, I've used Windex to clean my fretboard. Saturate a clean cloth with the Windex and run the fretboard until the rag is no longer discolored by the old oils/residues that are being lifted out of the fretboard by the ammonia. Then, I oil it with Trombone slide oil. I prefer the slide oil because it's a thin, clean oil that is causes no tarnishing and leaves no residue on brass instruments. One of my guitars in a 1991 Jackson RR1 that I purchased new. Played the hell out of it, in a band for around 15 years, and the fretboard still looks basically brand new.

Windex or any glass cleaner with ammonia on wood is a great way to damage it and dry it out super fast. Terrible advice! IDC how long you've been doing, but you've been doing it wrong. It's also a great way to make white-out ebony fretboards. You could've told people to use warm soapy water, and it wouldnt have been such a bad advice. At least is you use wood soap you're not drying out the wood with solvents. Please use some common sense, and use non-solvent based cleaning products and always oil the fretboard after cleaning!

Great video however never, never use lemon oil to condition the neck. Lemon oil will attract more dirt. Use linseed oil and make sure you wipe all of it off the wood.

Have you ever tried micro mesh? You can polish your frets much nicer with it
