[pianotech] piano dusters

[Albert Picknell]

Thanks Laura.  That's actually what I think I'm most likely to go with.  Your memory serves just fine in this case, as they are indeed cotton impregnated with paraffin.
 
Cheers,
Bert

There is something in stores called the California Car Duster that pickes up dust and didn't scratch the surface.  I've found them online: http://www.calcarduster.com/  
I like to give them to customers when they've just purchased a really nice piano.  My brother uses them on his Porsche.  They have a handle.  They really work.
I believe they are cotton fibers impregnated with paraffin....if memory serves (and it's serving less and less theses days!)

Thanks Joe, and everyone else, for your input on dusters.  I've always just used soft cotton cloths for wiping down pianos, but am wanting to get something with a handle just for dusting.  As I said earlier, I think I'll stick with something made with cotton fibers.

Have a good weekend,
Bert

Bert,

I've seen two instances where microfiber rags were used and

they left

"swirls". I'd suggest forgetting any synthetic material.

Soft, well washed

cotton is really the recommended material by most

refinishers, etc. It's

what I use and recommend to clients with no reprocussions,

so far.<G>
