To clean Astarin Music Collection instruments, we suggest wiping with a damp cloth. If desired, a mild detergent such as dishwashing soap can be used.
Please note: if you are a day care provider, school or other institution you should adhere to the cleaning and sanitizing regulations of the state in which you are licensed.
Musical instruments should never be immersed in water or cleaned in a dishwasher, as this can damage the internal parts or compromise the integrity of the materials. Most sanitizing wipes and disinfectant sprays contain harsh chemicals and solvents. While they are fine for occasional cleaning of your instrument, repeated use such as daily cleaning, as well as the use of commercial cleaners, chemicals and solvents must be avoided, as these compounds could compromise the plastic components of your musical instrument.
Chimalongs
Your Chimalong tubes are made of anodized aluminum. If necessary, use mild soap and water (or a foaming, non-abrasive cleanser) to clean your Chimalong. You can use this to clean the wood parts on the Chimalong XR and the plastic case of the Chimalong Deluxe. Take care not to get the foam chime holders or the Mini Chimalong's songbook or stand wet when you clean the instrument.
Drums
To prevent damage to the drumheads, avoid exposing drums with natural drumheads to extreme temperature and humidity. Natural drumheads can be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth. Solvents and soaps should not be used on natural drumheads.
Remo drums feature their patented Fiberskyn drumheads. These synthetic drumheads produce wonderful tone and can be cleaned using a wet cloth.
