How To Do A Brass And Woodwind Sterilization

By Jody Leach


Players of wood instruments would be using their mouths in order to play these instruments. Now the thing about using wood instruments is that since one would be putting it inside his mouth, he is actually susceptible to harmful germs and bacteria that would enter. Because of this, one would have to regularly do a brass and woodwind sterilization.

Now when one would want to clean this thing, he would have to take note that not every part has to be cleaned. He only needs to clean one part of the instrument and that part would be the mouthpiece because this is where one would blow. Of course to do this, he will be needing the necessary materials.

Basically, there are pretty much only four things that one would be needing for this type of job. These four things are a bottle of alcohol, a special mouthpiece disinfectant, a clean cloth, and of course a cup filled with hot water. Now for the mouthpiece disinfectant, usually music stores would be selling them just in case one would need a bottle.

So the first part of the process would be to actually spray some of the disinfectant on a clean cloth. From there, he would have to use the cloth to wipe the mouthpiece all around and make sure that the disinfectant would reach all places. Of course he should also make sure that the disinfectant would even reach the inside.

Now when one has already done that, then he has to now put some alcohol on it. Now the alcohol would be used in order to make sure that all the hidden bacteria and germs there would die. Of course in order to do this, one would need to use a clean cloth, pour the alcohol on the cloth, and then wipe it on the mouthpiece so that the bacteria will die.

Now after that, one has to now get that glass that is filled with hot water and get some soap. After he has done this, then he should make sure that he would put a little bit of soap inside. After he does that, he should mix the soap and let the mouthpiece soak in there for a few minutes probably around fifteen.

After the fifteen minutes are already up, then one has to now rinse the soap off the instrument. Now he has to make sure to rinse it properly otherwise there will still be a lot of substances that would be left behind from all the cleaning. After he has already done the rinsing, then he may now wipe the water off and keep it.

So for those who would play these kinds of instruments, here are some ways to clean it. Now the cleaning part is extremely important because one will be making sure that no bacteria will grow there. Of course by doing this, one will lessen his chances of getting illnesses after he would play.
