Basically a good vacuuming, wiping and polishing the case. I did blow
out the actions with compressed air.<br>

my fire extinguisher dust query. I spent the good part of two days
cleaning up two Steinway B's. Donning appropriate protective gear of
course. We will have to wait and see what might happen down the road to
these pianos. I'm sure that I did not get all the dust no matter how
careful I was. The particles are just too fine.

compressor outside on a loading dock?

My 2¢.
