Bought this 12 yr old uke and plan to change the strings. When I have the strings off, I would to clean the fret board. Any recommendations on cleaner,oil etc? Also, not sure if the nut needs to be replaced? Thanks.
I would probably scrape off the grime with a credit card or something that won't damage the surface, then use a clean cotton cloth and a little soap and water. Then reconditioned and feed the wood with some lemon oil. But I am no expert

I use Scrubbing bubbles and a toothbrush and wipe with paper cloth...be sure not to get it on the finish...then apply your finish oil if you want..
I live in hawaii so I dont need it..
I wouldn't touch it. The patina looks great and adds to the great looks of the ukulele. I would only do what is necessary, if anything needs to be done to make it play well.
Thanks for the reply. Any suggestion on what to use to gently clean the uke, neck etc. Just want to give it a quick once over then use my soft cloth to polish it.
