Re: [Harp-L] Harp Hygiene

Try Boric Acid on a beat up old wheezer soaking in a glass dish for 5-7 mins.
Watch the organic matter foam, fizz and bubble up.

Hydrogen Peroxide also works and after a warm water rinse/shake and dry no bad odor or taste.

I'm sure there is no damage to any Comb material.

These bugs cause the common"pink eye", bladder infections, gastroenteritis and respiratory infections. Commonly spread via droplets when we cough, talk, and important for the instrument when we breath . Spread through poor sanitation habits also. Hope this helps.
