Swiffer

Hi Mark -

This is not first hand knowledge, but rather a report from a furniture
conservator.  He is reluctant to use them on valuable furniture because
he noticed that when he wiped his glasses with the electrostatic cloth it
left a very visible and tangible film.

Now, whether or not that would have a detrimental effect on piano strings
is another matter.  Exactly what the film IS, I don't know.  And don't
count on P&G spilling the beans!
