Ukulele Care and Maintenance Tips
- Wipe down your ukulele after each use with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat, oils and dirt.
- Store your ukulele in a case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity, and physical damage.
- Avoid exposing your ukulele to extreme temperatures and humidity levels, as they can cause the wood to warp or crack.
