Wiping the strings with a paper towel or cloth before and after each playing session is a sign of a guitarist's love and care for his guitar, and cleaning the rust off the strings also goes a long way to slowing down the wear and tear on the frets. But often you have to pull the strings up and tuck a paper towel or cloth between the strings and the fretboard to scrape the rust off, taking your time to clean the strings one by one. This string cleaner is a great solution to this inconvenience, as it quickly removes the rust and wipes down your guitar fretboard with one snap and pull, and allows you to clean the whole machine without worrying about the fabric coming off.

It's an inexpensive accessory that perhaps every guitarist should have for their instrument.
