I just bought some Martin Guitar Polish but need a good fretboard cleaner/conditioner… I can use the polish on the body, back of neck but what should I use to clean and then condition the fretboard with? The store owner told me that I can just use lemon oil, but now that I am searching online there is a lot of controversy about using lemon oil on rosewood fretboards.
Just wondering (not planning to do unless if I get proof of it being ok) could I possibly use something like Pledge Revitalizing Oil with Natural Orange Oil to condition my fretboard? I’ve always heard that plain Pledge is bad, but what about this stuff? … Now that I’m googling, some people use Pledge to clean their fretboards, then condition with lemon oil. Why does cleaning a guitar (in my case, bass) have to be so complex?!? There is info all over the place of what to do and what not to do, so advice would be appreciated! 
Note – in case if any of those is not good for certain types of woods…. One of my basses is a Squier Vintage Modified P-bass.. maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Agathis body (gloss finish) .. relatively new, just needs a little shine.
Another is a vintage Hohner, with bad cosmetic blems on the body, ash body (gloss finished), maple neck, rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has a LOT of wear, so I need a really good conditioner and cleaner!
so does lemon oil clean & condition all in one? just use a tiny bit, rub on, and then use a clean cloth to wipe any excess off i’m assuming?

first evidence i’ve found of anyone using the pledge with orange oil on a fretboard… they had a positive review on it. anyone know about this? it’d be more convenient/cheaper right now than lemon oil since i have it..

THe store owner is right, I’m a guitar player and I love the beatles, I’m 13 and I use lemon oil, it cleans it and polishes it. hope this helps!!!
