From: sophocleese Moist towellettes or a presoaked washcloth in a plastic bag when you have the minutes to spare, a small towel to dry them quickly when you don't. Add a couple more jokes to between song patter. |

It's a clear alcohol gel, you rub a dollop into your hands and it essentially dries itself. I find it works great, and it's easy to carry in an instrument case. |

From: GUEST,Mrr-as-Heloise I've discovered that wetting a washcloth thoroughly, wringing it out fairly well but not as much as possible, and then freezing it gives the best hot-weather quick clean.
