It's not a "cover-up," it works by applying it to the odor source. It did a great job on moth killer odor for me. I haven't tried it on other things yet, nor will I try to explain it, because the info in the web site says it better than I could.

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>Thanks. I truly appreciate the suggestion, and indeed did go to the<br>store to check out "Scrubbing Bubbles" on my way to "slay this<br>dragon". But all the varieties at the Publix here had some sort of<br>scent, so I held off and just got more glass cleaner. ( Publix brand<br>has a milder, less headache-inducing odor than, say, Windex, that also<br>goes away faster.) I had a very bad experience with Febreze years ago<br>( left a weird smell in a piano that made me quite ill) so I'm<br>wary. But I do intend to get some "Scrubbing Bubbles" tonight, which<br>I'll try on a junk piano part to see if the perfume goes away<br>enough for me.<br> Related news: I went to the office of the nice, climate-controlled<br>storage facility where this Chickering Ampico now "lives", and noticed<br>several sizes of mattress bags for sale. I bought the king-sized ( for<br>$4) and found that it fit very
nicely over this on-its-side, 5'8"<br>grand, "quarantining" it until I can get it all cleaned. (Yay!!!) And<br>just now realized that such a bag (a fresh one) will also be PERFECT<br>for pumping ozone into (from my $800-- small version-- ozone<br>generator) once all accessible, overt contamination has been removed.<br>I know the ozone will damage all the rubber stuff, but all the bellows<br>cloth and tubing need replacement, anyhow.<br><br>Peace,<br>Thumpe<br></td>
