Cleaning a glossy maple fretboard

Post by SUaPYG »

I acquired an ASAT Classic that has a gloss maple fretboard. All my other guitars have ebony or rosewood fretboards. I use lemon oil to clean those fretboards but I understand that lemon oil can cause delamination on gloss maple boards. For those of you who have or had gloss maple fretboards what do you use to clean the boards?
