Cleaning Ivories

[AKarab@aol.com]

Hmm, looks like I may have been spreading wives tales!   I thought a little
milk on the cloth wiped over the carving was an old trick of the trade in
China, that 3 different clients had told me their families had adapted to
wiping down the piano keys once a year or so.  The keyboards so-treated were
a nice pale shade.  I have repeated the tip to others.  Does someone have a
chemical-analytic grasp?
