Does it hurt to spray FeBreeze on your Guitar

I've used FeBreeze in my guitar cases. Spray it on very lightly (just a mist...do not soak it!) and let the case open to air dry. Sometimes, after spraying, I've taken the case outdoors and let the sun shine on the open case. If you live in a humid area, pick a low humidity day. (I live in Houston, Ha!)

Years ago, I took the grilles out of my amps after they sat in a club and collected smoke for several weeks or months and sprayed them with 409 then took the hose and washed the yellow gunk away, works great. Also sprayed it on a soft cloth and wiped the tolex then wiped with clean water. I always kept my steel covered but don't know why you couldn't delute the 409 and wipe it down also then dry completely. I used it straight on the legs and pedal rods.

legend has it an ole fellow sprayed his guitar down with febreeze just before the opry. he got set up and hit a high note about the 12th fret and the guitar split in half. the keys went shootin up to the ceiling. the strings wrapped around everything in site. one of the legs knocked off the wig on a lady on the front row. the pickups knocked out 1 singer and the fiddle player. they found the steel player on the back of the stage saying whew that is some powerfull stuff. they asked him if he would do that again and he said sure the next time i borrow one of bobbe's guitars. no problem. sorry i couldn't help myself

Eric (West) only good for fish odors ... It's always been my understanding that Febreeze was for use on fabric like clothing, upholstry, etc. I don't think it was intended for 'smokey' guitars.

Off topic for a second but I been hanging around the forum for 6 years, I swear some of these cats missed thier true calling as Stand up Comics and started playing steel instead.

On topic: I use lemon Pledge on the axe and Snuggle Dryer Sheets in the case. It really works.
