If you’re a musician (either a novice or a pro), your guitar can get dirty, smudged and worn down from repeated use. It could also be full of germs, bacteria and other icky things that you’re touching with your hands and fingertips. However, you can simply clean your guitar with top-rated cleaning products to help ensure it lasts.

We rounded up a few cleaning solutions that could make your guitar looking and sounding like-new, while these items also could improve their tone and performance quality — especially if dust, oils, dirt and other icky things have been building up for years.

In fact, one of the items we found is a trusty guitar stand that could make your guitar look cool even when it’s not in use. In addition, a good cleaning kit could help deep clean your guitar, as well as basic microfiber cleaning cloths could go a long way for your six-string.
