When I'm doing a paid cleaning, I do use water, cotton rags and the Spurlock cleaning tools. I use the swiffers for a quick dusting, before I tune a piano, so I'm not breathing and touching all that dust. They're quick, easy and the amount of chemical in them couldn't hurt a thing. <div><br></div><div>As far as supporting Pledge, who are we supporting when we buy Denro tuning pins, Laoureux felt, Abel hammers and Renner action parts? Swiffers are made by our Canadian cousins and most of the profits stay in the USA.<div><br><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div>Al -</div><div>High Point, NC</div></span></div></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div> <br><div><div>On Feb 27, 2012, at 11:05 AM, Joseph Garrett wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.19190"> <div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space"> <div> <div>Al,</div> <div>You seem to be in love with those things!!???
