Cleaning keys

[Brian Lawson]

Hi, not just for keys but just carrying such in the car for when your hands
are dirty from the previous piano. I keep my wet wipes (not so sented as the
baby wipes are)n in a cool loc bag.

Hi list!

Baby wipes work great.  Just dry them (the baby wipes) a bit with a paper
towel so they're not so wet.  You can use the same paper towel to clean the
rest of the keys.  I'd be afraid to use toothpaste on plastic keys as it is
abrasive.  When I was young I used toothpaste to clean my flute and over
time it ruined the silver finish.

Hi list.

May I ask your favourite way of cleaning old dirty keys ?





Hi,
 I use 1/2 ammonia to 1/2 water, just get the cloth damp.
Best,

            List,
            I use windex diluted with water--spray on a cloth- barely damp
and wipe. It's the ammonia that does the job.
