Ruth Richards, RPT _______________________________________________ </BLOCKQUOTE> Ruth Wash the case with Murphy's Oil Soap, and then polish the piano with a good furniture polish. On the inside, there is not much that can be "cleaned." I would remove all the keys, and vacuum out the dirt and dust and even wash, again, with Murphy's, the keybed and frame. You can even wash each of the keys. Vacuum out and wash the bottom board. (Or soundboard if it is a grand.) As for the rest of the piano, use Fabreze. You can spray it on the action parts, I would be careful about spraying in the strings, but certainly any other surface. Wim </HTML>
