Re: [Harp-L] Will the mongoose free cleaning method work on Seydel's Stainless steele reeds?

I stopped using Kaboom when I noticed that the new version has a warning against using it on brass, and starting using Maas metal polish instead.

You might go to a store and read the Kaboom label for claims and warnings re what you can and can't use it on. If you're in doubt and want to be cautious, go to Home Depot or a similar place and get a bit of scrap stainless to try it on (of course there are many varieties of stainless steel, so this is not foolproof).

My experience w/ the "NEW" Kaboom is that it has oxyclean in it and tends to leave rust spots on the brass, no idea how it works on SS, I now use Bar Keepers Friend.

I have a couple of Seydels that need cleaning but I do not want to 
ruin them. Can I use Kaboom on stainless steele? 
Thanks in advance,
