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..

we are living in time when innovations and development are at the zenith. The innovative developments are fast changing the outlook and are having visible impact on what we need and use. In today’s global warming wary climate, the era of using cheap, beige toned products made out of has come to an end. People today not only want efficient and stylish designs, they also look for products that are unique, thematic and not going to end up polluting some landfill and leaching toxins. Don’t you?
Reclaimed thematic furniture is a case in point here. Techno Station savvy readers know that reclaimed furniture is home and or office furnishings that have been recycled from discarded industrial artifacts that would, if business as usual took its course, end up fouling someone’s water. In the hands of some savvy and professional designers, seemingly outmoded everyday objects can become functional art and reclaimed furniture. Have a look at the table from Aston Martin Heritage Designs that is made from a high-octane V-12 Aston Martin engine, and it makes the perfect complement to any auto themed room.
With custom-engraved 152 mm piston crowns, your choice of curved or straight exhausts, induction trumpets and other auto engineering doodads, this handmade object of art is where a real gear head can plant his coasters, show off his vintage back issues of British Car magazine and relax with friends while watching a turbo race on the TV.
