Dampp Chaser are formal about this and warns that if anything else than their water treatment is used it could cause great damage to the piano.

The piano is about 3 years old. As I opened the > lid to tune, I noticed rust on the tenor strings, and as looked closer, all > of the bass strings had discolored from what seems to be a serious humidity > problem.
