HI Dave,
Do you use anything in particular to clean inside the piano besides a vacuum?  Will something like 409 bother strings pins etc?  I find the plate, strings and pins to be quite filthy in pianos.

I have a blue handled mute that I bought from Schaff several years ago.  It's a Papp's mute, made of plastic.  I found it to be useless.  It has disappeared into some black hole in the trunk of my car.  It is not to be confused with the flat handled mutes with the blued steel handle, which work quite well.  After the rubber wears out, you can even use the handle to push a rag around in hard to clean places under the strings near the tuning pins.

I would assume that the "blue handled mute" is really the split black rubber
mute with the flat blued steel handle coming from the back of the mute.  I
have about 1/2 a dozen of them.
