Febreeze on piano parts?

Hi,

In speaking with a customer he happened to mention that he decided to spray 
Febreeze on the hammers and the dampers on his grand piano (an old, privately 
purchased musty & dusty grand).  I would expect that he just sprayed through 
the gaps in the strings as I am sure he wouldn't have known how to take any 
of it apart.  After recommending that he not spray anything on the inside of 
the piano he assured me that it was "fine"...."Febreeze is a light mist and 
evaporates..."

I am curios as to what potential damage he has caused to the action or 
strings?  And would you expect any resulting damage to show up immediately or 
over time?

I guess I am constantly amazed at what people will do to their pianos...kind 
of like the guy who decided to polish all the copper strings with Brasso the 
day after delivery.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
