I would do that during the ionizing phase.

  Along with the fan after cleaning, why not put in a couple of boxes of baking soda...like folks do in their refrigerators?

  Here is what I have done with excellent results.

  1, Clean the piano down well. I like orange cleaner in water. Use it damp to 
  semi-wet and dry immediately.
  2, Blow a big fan on it for about a week or two. I keep it running day and 
  night. Move the fan around. Under the lid, under the bottom, etc.
  3, Put it in a small room or make a tent to cover the piano and have an 
  ionizer run for about a month.
  4, Do a final wipe down as in step one.

  It takes some time to do, but I am happy with the results.
