Rich Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1088987' date='Jan 14 2011, 09:48 AM']Couple of drops of washing up liquid in the water if boiling them. Watch out for the water frothing over the pan sides though! Gets 'em clean as a whistle. It's worked on all the strings I've used over the years, roundwound, groundwound and flats.[/quote] I do this too. The froth is a bit mental but it certainly works! Gets another gig's worth of life out of a tired set of wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm going to try and soak them in Vodka. Don't know if or why it would work but it seems more rock and roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I tried boiling strings once but even the bolognese sauce couldn't kill the taste. Them were hard days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I boiled some eggs today, does that count? If you use meths, don't let it get too hot! I once had a flambe situation which singed the cooker hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
