You can even use them regularly to clean your Guitar without any needed polishes (in case of daily cleaning when your Guitar is not too dirty)
2. Guitar Polish / Guitar Cleaner
As I said above, you cannot use just any kind of detergent on your Guitar. A specialized Guitar polish will remove all doubts because it does not contain any harmful chemicals that will destroy your instruments.
Here I will suggest some significant ones for your reference…

3. Oil
Oil provides a protective barrier, conditions the wood and stops it drying out. It is divided into 4 main types: natural mineral, petroleum distillates, bore oil and lemon oil with their own pros. However, remember that oil is usually suitable for most fretboards except for the Maple ones, which have a hard and lacquered finish (it will have no effect, and could even harm the lacquer).
