If you’re like most people, you probably don’t have the time or inclination to take your flute to a professional cleaning service. But don’t worry, cleaning your flute at home is easy and can be done in just a few minutes. Here are four tips on how to clean a flute:

  1. Remove the mouthpiece and any stickers or labels that may be affixed to it.
  2. Soak the mouthpiece in warm water for several minutes, then scrub it with a soft cloth or brush.
  3. Rinse the mouthpiece and cloth thoroughly, then dry them off completely before reattaching the mouthpiece to the flute.
  4. Apply a light coat of oil (such as WD-40) to the inside of the bore if desired, then wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth or paper towel. ..
