Question:

How to clean a flute?

My flute has greenish-brown things between the keys also how do I clean the inside?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Thread a soft cloth through the needle-like slot in the end of your cleaning rod. Remove the moisture by gently sliding the cleaning rod through each of the sections. Go up and down all around around the inside.
Return the rod and cloth to the flute case, and remove a soft chamois cloth. Carefully polish the flute with the cloth until it shines like a mirror. Be careful not to bend any keys.
Rub the mouthpiece gently with the cloth, to remove the gunk and spit. Using your dusting stick (or pipe cleaner without the strip of metal), remove dust from underneath the keys.
