Yes. You are reading this correctly. Caring for your strings. As I am staying in the world most humid country, my sweat is capable of turning new slick non coated strings into brown tarnished strings while I am playing.
What I usually like to do is to clean the strings with Dunlop string cleaner and conditioner before and after I play. It keeps the string alive longer and prevents rusting for a longer period of time. By the time it rust, it's time to change the strings anyway.
So for people who have sweaty palms like I do, time to invest in one of these.
