Regular Simple Green to clean a fretboard?

[EvlarvBass]

I saw someone on YouTube use Simple Green Max on the fretboard, but I was just wondering if the regular version would work just as well. And if no, then are there any alternatives?

yikes!

just use guitar polish on finished maple boards, and #0000 steel wool on unfinished rosewood or ebony.

keep the household cleaners under the sink and away from your guitars.

I use lemon oil like for furniture on my rosewood boards. They don't soak up hardly anything, but I like to think it helps combat drying during the heating season here in Iowa. It also helps clean off finger gunk, and doesn't smell too bad.

What the h#ll is on your hands that would require simple green to take off?

Simple green will actually permanently discolor some aluminum alloys (don't ask me how I know).
It is a strong cleaner that should be used carefully and never on wood IMO.
