 Re: Safe way to clean a hard rubber clarinet body?

Thanks for all the responses. I decided to go ahead and try the "slightly warm soapy water" on Qtips, used very sparingly. Seems to have worked reasonably well!

I do have a secondary question for those repairers out there: In the past, I've always used a mild silver polish to remove the sticky growth/dull appearance from nickle plated keys. However, the amount of effort to do this by hand is fairly substantial, and the keys never end up looking "like new" - is there a suggested method to use on old nickle-plate? (Personally, I don't like super-shiny keys on an old instrument, but I'm just curious what the "standard" practice/product might be.

Thanks,
Fuzzy
