Cleaning maple roasted

Disclaimer: I know this is an english language forum, but I'll answer in spanish because I guess it will be more helpfull. Please let me know if it's not the right thing to do.

La especie de madera no es lo más relevante para ver con qué limpiar un instrumento; lo que tendrías saber es con qué producto está terminado ese mástil (poly, laca nitro, aceite, etc) y buscar un producto y metodo de limpieza que sea seguro y adecuado para ese acabado. Ante la duda, un paño apenas húmedo es seguro para cualquier acabado y puede remover la mayor parte de la suciedad.
 
Roasted woods still need a finish and it must have something. It's probably a thin matte polyurethane unless it specifically says otherwise. Sandberg are very good at answering queries, so it's probably worth emailing them. They sell a fingerboard oil and a body cleaning product as well. :)
