Crying over spilt tea

List,

A customer of mine sheepishly admitted to having spilt an entire cup of tea 
into her piano.  Fortunatly none of the tea touched a single action part 
(somewhat of a miracle!).  However, the soundboard, bridge, and keybed were 
wet.  I mopped up what I could get to with paper towels, used a hairdryer 
on low heat to evaporate any tea on the wood surface, and applied some 
proteck to the bridge pins and strings to try to displace any remaining 
water.  I will return in a week or so to check the piano once again.  I 
know some of you have had similar calls.  Do you have any further suggestions?
