Jeff, I just began a new experiment! I took a small piece of 13g wire and wrapped it in a piece of cloth soaked in Downy. We'll see by the end of the week if anything corrodes, I hope ( or hope not!) And fortunately, the piano upstairs with the bad hammers is also slated for restringing soon. Never try things out on the concert instruments, eh?

I believe I remember some discussion (on this list) some time back about the Downy being corrosive to wire - especially bass strings?
