Have any of you used= something like this to clean clients pianos? I know it would be= a bit messy, but it sure would be easier than using the= under-the-strings squegee-like tools I have.  If the client= has a vacuum and wouldn't mind a little dust and junk to clean= up around the piano, it seems like it might be a good approach.= Unless it's on a spotless new carpet, I suppose - then you'd= probably have to get involved in spreading ground cloths around!= Well, maybe it would depend on the situation and environment.= I've certainly been in houses where doing this would hardly= affect the overall cleanliness level! I've often wished I= could blow an action out on the spot - one could even take it= outside to do it if it was really nasty. Any feedback or= opinions?
