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?
