Tips to keeping the insides clean. 1. Dont over oil the rotors and over grease the slides. Use small amounts of both. Over oiling dissolves grease so you grease more often then you need more oil because you valves get slow and on and on. 2. Always riinse your mouth before playing. If you swish some water in your mouth you will release the food particles and sugars that would have gotten blown into the instrument.
