What works well and does not scratch is a single slat PLASTIC Venetian =

    On this subject Reblitz recommends using the soundboard steel with a =
cloth moistened with the water/vinegar solution.  My question is =
wouldn't the moisture in the cloth coming in contact with the strings =
cause them to rust?

    I am scheduled to do this procedure Wednesday and would appreciate =
your responses.

  Rick,
     Miniwax makes a good wood cleaner, available at Lowe's,or other =
similiar stores.Also a wooden yard stick works better than a soundboard =
steel tool.It is stiffer,and therefore will push a cloth better, but =
flexible enough to bend under the strings.Also it's so soft, it will not =
scratch the soundboard.
  Best,
  Hazen Bannister
