Quick Maintenance Instruction Guide
Mi-T Mist
Mouthpiece: Spray the fine mist on the mouthpiece then let evaporate (about 45 seconds). Use with the proper Roche-Thomas mouthpiece brush for more thorough cleaning.
Instruments: To freshen and clean the inside of the instrument, spray liberally into the instrument and immediately swab. Mi-T-Mist evaporates quickly and assists in eliminating moisture and bacteria. Use with proper Roche-Thomas cleaning swabs.
Mi-T-Slick (Valve/Slide Oil)
Valves: Oil your valves every time you play, or at least three times per week. Unscrew the top valve from the valve casing, and pull the valve out in a straight line. Do not twist. Apply valve oil, coating the entire valve. You may want to first wipe off the valve to remove debris before applying new oil. Do not oil your valves from the bottom caps.
Slides: Slide grease keeps slides airtight and maintains smooth movement. young players should use slide oil at least once a week. To apply slide oil, put hand slide into approximately third position and add oil to each slide.

Mi-T-Grease (Tuning Slide\Cork Grease)
Slide: Completely remove the slide from the instrument. Pull with even, consistent force. Do not yank. Most instruments will have a long and short end on the slide to aid in realigment when assembling the instrument. Apply a small amount of grease to each arm of the slide and work it around with your finger. Replace each arm of the slide, one end at a time, moving it completely into the instrument out to ensure even coverage. Rotating the slide in the sleeve is a good technique to help this happen.
Cork Grease: Corks should be greased regularly to create a nice even layer of grease to the corks prior to assembly.
