I find that that cloth takes more elbow grease to clean the frets than the steel wool does.
I just joined this forum to thank Dendroaspis and you for this particularly excellent tip. Earlier today, I dyed a inlayed rosewood LP backplate with saddle dye to have it match the rest of the ebony on the guitar. It came out fine but I got some dye on the mother of pearl and abalone which bummed me out. I did a quick Google search for "saddle dye" "clean" "inlay" and found this forum and thread. I followed Regor's and Dendroaspis' instructions - worked like a charm! Y'all are awesome, thanks very much. Jon S.You can use an eraser to clean up the dye from the inlays (thanks to Dendroaspis for the tip!)

Thanks again, Regor.That's what we're here for. Stick around, you won't regret it.
Can you use Lemon Oil on an Ebony Fretboard?
