Hi Ginny,
I think I was the one that suggested the Woolite.  I got it at Wal Mart.  Foam carpet cleaner "Heavy Traffic" in a blue 22 oz. aerosol can.  It says "deep cleans".  Spray on just a little up close because you don't want the stuff to go everywhere.  Work foam with a paint brush until gone, wiping brush with a clean towel.   On 40/50/60 year old pianos that seem to have never been cleaned, all the crud may not all come off but it will be sooooo much better.  I've used it for years.  Good luck
