For temporary cleaning you should rosin your bow. You can buy rosin at virtually any music store that sells/repairs any stringed instruments. To use the rosin, rub it up and down your bow hair quickly, pressing down hard. Rub it approximately 50 times the very first time you rosin your bow, and 25-30 rubs 1 or 2 times a week after that. Do not rosin your bow every day. <><><> Ask your nearest music shop. It can be oiled to be cleaned. <><><> You should not clean bow hairs. You should however have your bow rehaired approximately every year depending on how much you play. It is bad to touch or try and clean the hairs because the hairs have very, very tiny burs on them which is what the rosin sticks to and is also what helps create the friction on the string which makes the string resonate and create sound. If you touch or clean the bow hairs, you will knock off these tiny burs. <><><> Don't clean the hairs. Just rehair it. If it's kind of brown near the frog, that's normal and avoid touching it. If the whole thing is dirty and you've touched it too much, take it to a violin repair specialist.

NEVER use oil on the hair, if the hair is filthy or a number of hairs have broken, just have new hair inserted. The so-called burs can't be "knocked off", since they don't actually exist. Rosin just sticks to the uneven hair (magnify under a microscope). If you try and clean hair, you could just make it worse, never ever use alcohol. The best thing to do is wash your hands before you play and get the bow rehaired once or twice a week.
