Mold problem

[Poole Peter]

I have been asked to remove mold/mildew from 2 pianos; one a hi gloss 
polyester grand (white), and the other a hi gloss polyester vertical 
(mahogany colored); I am looking for anyone who has dealt with this 
successfully. Suggestions? Procedures?

I looked at both pianos today (in a moving company warehouse),  and did 
not see any mold in the white grand, but the customer says it is there 
(her nose, eyesight is better than mine); I did see small white spots 
on the exterior of the vertical.

I would think it would hours and hours to wipe down every nick and 
cranny of every action part, under the strings, on the strings, etc. 
not to mention the possibility of ruining the finish!

I am assuming one would use a solution of chlorox bleach and water, in 
about the mix of 1:9 or so.

thankyou,
