Sodium Hypochlorite - aka common household bleach - the chlorine based
variety.  Do NOT mix with any other chemicals - especially anything
containing ammonia.

Vinegar sounds like a plan. I checked the archives and found one mention of
X - 14 (contains sodium hypochlorite and comes in a spray bottle) but
nothing about how you'd apply it to the top of a strung soundboard, whether
it should be neutralized, etc.

I'm hesitant to experiment with the customer's piano but if anyone has some
hands-on experience, I'd like to hear about it.
