Hi Budding Instrumentalists,
Here are a few links to show you how to clean your instruments.

Pay attention to this line:
It’s very important that you NOT get the top part of the valve wet! This is the part with the felt pads on it. If those felt pads get wet, they can compress and cause your valves to become misaligned. The only part of the valve that needs to be cleaned is the bottom section with the ports (those are the holes that line up with the various slides on the trumpet).
Also, look at this video. You do not need to get a plastic tub like the one that they have in the video, a regular bath tub will be absolutely fine!
