It is primarily used for the bath tub, but it will kill mildew anywhere. I have used to remove mildew from the underside of a soundboard and rims. It smells like bleach and can be bought in the grocery store or hardware store The reason Said not to use it on actions is because of the moisture content, which, as you suggested, might hard the centers. And if the mildew penetrated the action center cloths, there is no way that this stuff will remove it from there. That is why I suggested replacing the parts, or even the whole piano, if the mildew is bad enough. Willem
