Package Contents:
- 1 Box containing 100 individually packed string cleaning wipes
- Each wipe saturated with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol - highest purity available
- Box size 100mm x 55mm x 50mm

Important note about the purity of the Alcohol:
Isopropyl wipes are commonly available for uses such medical needs, computer screen cleaners or glasses cleaners. However most of these only have a purity between 70%-80% and contain other ingredients such as water or perfumes which are damaging to strings. The Leatherwood Rosin wipes are the highest purity available, 99%, which means no other chemical residue will be left on the string once the alcohol evaporates away. 

Instructions for best use:

• Lay a cloth cover underneath the fingerboard to protect the varnish from any contact with the liquid. We recommend the Leatherwood Rosin cleaning cloth
  
• Slightly loosen your strings so they can be lifted off the bridge, but do not remove them from the instrument
  
• Use the string cleaning wipe as soon as the sachets is opened as the cleaning liquid will evaporate very quickly
  
• Wipe the full surface and length of the string until you notice the dirt and oil build up on the wipe
  
• Wait for the string to dry, the liquid evaporates extremely quickly
  
• Tighten your strings, and the strings are ready to use again
  
• Discard wipe after single use
  

We recommend using:
1 wipe to clean four strings on violin or viola
2 wipes for four strings for cello and double bass 
This product is not recommended for unwound, or open gut strings.

Warning!
The use of isopropyl alcohol wipes (Wipes) on stringed instruments may cause damage to the varnish and/or finish of the instrument, if the liquid comes into contact with any varnish. Take extreme care to ensure no liquid from the wipe comes in contact with your instrument. We recommend laying the Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin cleaning cloth or similar cover underneath the fingerboard to protect the instrument.
