[pianotech] tobacco smoke in piano

[Paul McCloud]

I met a technician at a convention named Jim Commander who does smoke damage
restoration.  He uses an ozone machine and "Otoban", a liquid odor remover.
He claims he can get rid of any odor with this.  He's a member of the Guild
and is in member's guide.

Cleaning with lots of elbow grease is the only way to actually remove the
residue.

 

Depending on the severity of the odor, superficial cleaning is just touching
on the surface. There's under the plate and everywhere else that can't be
reached. Then there is all the felt which will be off-gassing the odor.
