Hm.. Never put chemicals in your woodwind. Same with water.

Take it to the repair shop. NEVER try to put key oil in keys, as this can absorb in the pads and make the Clarinet to stop working. Never unscrew any mechanisms. NEVER. You can mess up the whole clarinet.

A trained professional will know what to do. Please stop putting windex in your bass, especially if it's wood and/or plastic or composition.

Buy a Bass Clarinet / Clarinet cleaning kit. If you have a Music and Arts nearby, they sell them. But they are expensive [$14-18], but it's worth it.

Hm..
You could probably just type in "Bass Clarinet care kit" on eBay.

Plus, putting windex in your instrument can ruin the keys.
