Cleaning Tips
Here are some
tips for cleaning your piano (and keeping it clean):
1. Lightly go over your piano with a feather
duster or "Swiffer" to remove all dust possible.
Dust is an abrasive material, even though the
particles are very small, and can scratch the finish
of your piano. You don't want to wipe dust
right into your piano.
2. Wipe your piano with a soft, damp cotton or
flannel cloth to see what smudges, etc. you can
remove from the piano. If you can remove them
in this step, you have done your job and minimized
causing any damage to the piano's finish. Be
sure to wipe in the direction of the wood grain, if
applicable, and never wipe in a swirl or circular
motion. To finish, wipe off any remaining
moisture with a soft, cotton cloth.
3. If smudges still remain, add a small amount
of mild soap solution to your soft cloth and repeat
the process. An example of a mild cleaning
product is Murphy's Oil Soap. You can also
order professionally prepared piano cleaning
products at
www.professionalpianoproducts.com and
you may find specialty piano cleaning products at
your local piano store.
4. Polishing is not recommended, but if you
must polish, do NOT use "lemon oils" and inexpensive
"furniture polishes." Silicone is bad for a
piano's finish. Don't use aerosol sprays as
the overspray can get into sensitive areas of your
piano and really mess things up. Always dust
and clean before polishing.
5. Once your piano is clean, don't place items
on the finish that could possibly scratch it.
Place a soft cloth underneath any item that is on
the piano. Keep beverages and plants off of
your piano and wipe any water spills immediately.
6. Keep your piano out of direct sunlight,
because sunlight can ruin the finish of your piano.
