Roger:  I think that's okay on keys with plastic tops but I wouldn't use =
it with ivory.  I just prefer to keep all moisture away from water =
soluble glue joints.

  Hi David,
                  I used to use a scraper, as that was the method =
taught.   Now I use the Fantastic for the sides, it just cuts through =
that black crud, and finger grease.  No material is removed, and it =
works well getting the dirt from under the key lip, so the fronts also =
look clean. One cleaner to do the tops, sides and fronts.
  Rubber gloves are recommended, as it is hard on the skin.
  Regards Roger
