I never clean my strings.

I sweat all over my guitars too.

I recommend strap locks before this doo dad. I get a pair, then use them for the bottom of the guitar. I don't seem to have a problem holding the guitar at the top.

Why not just use a paper towel/napkin underneath the strings, or red shop rag or something.

(Seeing Fergie with Slash at the top of that "current events" link was a little disconcerting. Oh God, please no,)
