Here is what I have done with excellent results. 1, Clean the piano down well. I like orange cleaner in water. Use it damp to semi-wet and dry immediately. 2, Blow a big fan on it for about a week or two. I keep it running day and night. Move the fan around. Under the lid, under the bottom, etc. 3, Put it in a small room or make a tent to cover the piano and have an ionizer run for about a month. 4, Do a final wipe down as in step one. It takes some time to do, but I am happy with the results.
