CORY's stuff is ok. Mild surfactant with vanilla fragrance. $$$$ Standard summer procedure is to clean all the keys on all the pianos. Caveat is once you get the sides badly stained they have to be scraped/sanded/naptha'd etc.Although this does take many years YTBD, I find that they clean up pretty easily albeit tie consuming. While I have the keys off I also determine the bushing(s) condition and service accordingly. Note: Pianos are 6 yrs old. My current elixir of preference is Simple Green mixed up in a 32oz spray bottle. $ - $$ Comes concentrate 1 gal (about $10.00) and dilute as necessary. Spray on the sides and wipe off the crud. Avg. cleaning time 30 mins/vert 50/grand.Focus on the edges of the sharps and touch up the worn wood (white scuff areas of the sharps) with marker/touch up lacquer, nicorsine mix, etc. Bushing servicing (proV) +45mins plus overnight drying time if and when necessary. Best,Gerry CousinsWCUPA Does anyone have a favorite way to clean this kind of dirt off of keys? I’ve cleaned many like this, but never where I was completely happy with the result. dp _________________________ David M.
