String crud

[whitey]

Is there anyway to prevent that crap that gets on your strings after you've had them awhile? I constantly have to scrape it off with my pick. And is there any product to keep your strings feeling new?

new strings......or you can try wiping them off after everytime you play

Well obviously I could get new strings, but these are almost a month old. And I do scrape it off every day or so but it keeps coming back. Any more ideas?

I don't know how you can prevent crud from getting on the strings unless you wear gloves when you play! A method I use to get my strings looking and sounding like new again though is about once every 2 weeks I take them off and put them in the dishwasher with a small amount of liquid detergent. It cleans them up and gets them nice and zingy...you may want to try that.
