Does the team think these would be ok to use to clean our guitars?

First review I read!! So, you'll not be able to walk on your guitars safely if they're made from laminate Other than that, I'd probably just use a lukewarm damp rag to clean any guitar surfaces, unless you're sure about what's in the wipes and if there might be any reaction with or degradation to whatever finish your guitar may have.

I don't think I'd risk it. I wouldn't even wipe my laminate floor with it (if I had one).

I've used Huggies baby wipes before and polished off with a dry towel, and lighter fluid (naptha) if there is anything really gungy but for the most part I just use a damp cloth. Not sure about those wipes, you need to know what kind of finish your guitar has (generally nitro or poly) and check to see if it will damage your finish.

Wise words folks, thanks for that. Talking of cleaning, or not in Leo's case , any suggestions for a word to describe those deposits of dried slobber we all know so well?

Possibly not a problem if you stick to playing a TENA guitar...?

Goodness me, what on earth are you all up to, that you can't keep your bodily fluids off your guitars? Playing the guitar with your teeth or some other inappropriate organ? Play with a little more decorum and you'll find that the problem doesn't arise.
