[pianotech] Cleaning Soundboard and Plate

[Claude Harding]

Hi, Joel,
  Thanks for the input on Krud Kutter.  
I haven't had a problem with it yet, but I normally use it sparingly and
work quickly. 
 I will be careful with it.
 
You have also informed me of additional uses of this product.
Thanks.  I'll experiment with it some more.
 
Good to hear from you, old friend.
Be well,
Claude Harding

Claude, 

Krud Kutter is in my cleaning bucket too, but I find I must use it
sparingly. It removes
dirt on plates and soundboards immediately . If it sets too long I find it
hard to match
the different areas as it can remove stain, paint, as well as Krud. 

One of our techs uses it to strip old pianos. Spray it on, wait a bit, wipe
it off. Leaves a nice
stain and smooth surface. 

Keep in Tune. 

Joel

Fenton,
  I have had good results with a product called "Krud Kutter."  It's made by
a company in Georgia and available in Home Depot & Lowe's in this area (TX),
as well as many grocery stores.  It claims to be "Tough on krud; gentle on
nature."  (www.krudkutter.com)
 
No personal guarantees, but it has worked well for me.
Best regards,
Claude Harding

409 or Simple Green both will do a good job.  Dry everything off
immediately!

List, 
I'm preparing to clean up an extremely dirty 30 year old Kawai Grand. I will
be cleaning the plate and SB without restringing and was considering
cleaning solutions. Diluted Simple Green is what I am thinking of using.
Your suggestions would be most appreciated. 
Fenton
