Mold problem

[pianolover 88]

Sell her a dammp-chaser DEHUMIDIFIER! Mold thrives on moisture and can grow 
with as little as 50%  RH! Of course, you'll still need to clean out the 
exsisting mold.

<i>Tue, 8 Nov 2005 19:32:04 -0500</i><br>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?<br><br>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.<br><br>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!<br><br>I am assuming one would use a solution of chlorox 
bleach and water, in about the mix of 1:9 or 
so.<br><br>thankyou,<br><br>Peter Poole<br>Registered Piano
