I recently tgried something new cleaning soundboards and it worked great.
Swifter pads--yep- the kind your wives uses on the floors. They come both
dry and wet. The wet ones as well as the dry work under the strings great
withthe use of a soundboard steel.  It's not as messy as the buckey of water
and does a better job.  Give it a shot.

Most crap on soundboards are water soluble.
