Subject: milk on keytops thread

A few days ago there was a question as to whether milk could or should
be used to clean keytops (ivories, I think).

For what its worth:
I found a newspaper clipping taped to the inside of a bench that called for
plain yogurt to clean piano keys.  I pointed to the clipping which surprised
the owner.  She knew her mother used "something" to clean the keys, but
never saw her do it.  The ivories were/are snow white.  It is very difficult
to see the joint between the heads and tails, and no odor-sour
milk/yogurt-coming from the piano. I've haven't tried it...yet.
