For best results, gently draw the comb through the bow hair in one direction — from frog to tip — to remove rosin dust and realign hair strands. Avoid applying excessive pressure. Clean the comb teeth after each use by tapping lightly to dislodge collected rosin. Learn more about instrument care best practices from the Smithsonian Institution's music collections resource.
