Re: [Harp-L] Strep and Harmonica Cleaning

[Timothy Kane <hawkeyekane@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I've never dealt with strep specifically, but I have had other nasty ailments before that required me to sterilize my harps. The route I took was to take my harps apart, mix a solution of 3 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide, and ran all the pieces of my harps in my ultrasonic cleaner with the solution. It's pretty time consuming and leaves a slight odor and taste for a little while, but it gets the job done.

Subject: [Harp-L] Strep and Harmonica Cleaning

I may have strep, and my doctor tells me it could have gotten into my harmonicas. How might I clean them to kill the strep without hurting the harmonicas? Anybody ever dealt with this?WVa Bob
