What, you never do the laundry at your house, Wim? Actually, I figured that those who work in/with universities would have run into this problem, too, as a cover that hits the floor more than once is likely to need cleaning eventually. And I wondered whether those organizations send their covers out for dry cleaning.

And besides, why are you asking us? We're piano tuner, not dry cleaners. :) Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Honolulu, HI Author of The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Annie Grieshop <annie at allthingspiano.com> To: Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 5:14 am Subject: piano cover cleaning Good morning, y'all, and happy "Goodbye February!" (The first of March, here in Ioway, looks ickier than the last of February, but it's still the first of March. <g>) A local community center has two grands with quilted cotton duck covers that have been treated about as you'd expect -- so the covers are dirty and a great upset to the Powers That Be. Can they (the covers, that is) be washed and dried in commercial machines, or do they need to be dry cleaned? No one seems to know where the covers were purchased or from whom or anything else.
