Cleaning keys again

I use a green "Scotch-Brite" pad and denatured
alcohol, wearing gloves and a carbon filter mask.
Then, if the keys still stink, I put a cheap set of
bushing cauls in the bushing slots, mask off the
ivories ( 3/4" easy to remove blue tape works great)
and lacquer them, with either clear or white and black
lacquer. If the piano will be in an institutional
setting where poorly raised people will not wash their
hands before playing ( should be illegal!) I will
actually spray the keystick with white epoxy gloss,
which leaves a nice, smooth finish on the sides, to
easily wipe clean later ( and fully reveal their
sins!)
