[Harp-L] Listerine and Harps

[Denise Preston <ichmach@xxxxxxxxx>]

Elizabeth,
 
While in college Microbiology class, it was proven through culturing that Listerine is virtually useless for killing germs. Alcohol, however is comparatively most effective for killing germs. 
 
For a plastic comb harp, disassemble it, wash the parts in hot soapy water, soak them in alcohol, rinse and soak in alcohol again, then reassemble.
 
For a wooden comb harp, throw it in the trash can and for goodness sake if you want a wooden harp, buy a new one. Wood is porous and the inside of a harp is warm and moist from your breath, an ideal environment for bacterial growth. (Not as bad if it's your own, but who wants to inhale someone else's germs from the depths of their lungs?  Not me.)
 
Now if you never draw it probably wouldn't be that bad   :)
