[quote name='Rich' post='432372' date='Mar 12 2009, 01:17 PM']I boil my strings in water with a bit of washing up liquid in, as a degreaser and crap-remover -- like Ben said, watch out when it comes to the boil though, the suds go mental! After about 5 mins on a boil, I remove them and let them dry, before a quick wipe down with a rag with surgical spirit on it. Cleans them up like new and puts at least a couple of gig's worth of life back in them. I don't play all that hard, which helps.
OK, so the strings I use (Warwick Reds) are pretty cheap anyway, but needs must in these turbulent times and all that.[/quote]
Try the meth method it is so much better at getting them nice an clean, also it won't rust the strings.
