Takes off all the peanut-butter....
Run it up-and-down the string on the corner of a wash cloth on each string.
Cheap Too! |

| | | | Just buy some microfiber and use that. Cheaper than that gimmick. Just as easy to use.
A fiend of mine sells the Shamwow and gave me a couple packages. So far my life hasn't changed much. I doubt this device will do anything for me either. |

Unprecedented 360 degrees of string cleaning action?
Save yourself the 12.99 plus shipping (actually, probably more for the bass version...)
Step 1) Get the microfiber cloth you must already have if you are a string cleaning nut
Step 2) Place over hand
Step 3) Slide hand under strings (loosen strings if necessary)
Step 4) Wrap thumb over top of strings. This will give you unprecedented 360 degree coverage
Step 5) Clean the strings

Get the little alcohol pads that nurses use on your arm before they give you a shot. You wrap it around the string, run up and down it a few times slowly, wow you are done!
Yep, my wife is a nurse!

Honestly, I can't see any way that taking a couple of swipes along the string with their whoopee-doopee pad would anything that you couldn't do MUCH BETTER and much more effectively yourself with a cloth and a solvent of your choice.
But to me, cleaning strings it a waste of effort - play 'em until they break, and hopefully that will take 30 or 40 years.
