Piano Care
Exterior - In normal circumstances, the exterior of the piano is easy to keep clean. A piece of clean cheesecloth, and an approved piano cleaner and conditioner is safe to use for wiping away dust and other blemishes. Do not use household furniture wax. If you have used wax on your piano safely remove the wax buildup.
Always wipe with the grain, as this is the direction in which the piano was originally polished. Always wipe the surface in a straight line, never with a circular motion. A piano should always be wiped in the direction in which it was originally polished. This direction will be obvious when you look at the surface carefully.
Do not put objects of any kind, drinks, flower pots/vases, pictures, books on top of the piano. The finish can be damaged by any foreign objects placed upon it. They can have a damaging effect on the sound of the piano. Common sense in the care of your piano's finish is the best course, please remember it is a delicate instrument and a fine piece of furniture.
Do not use solvents of any kind to clean either the black or white keys. Solvents can ruin the finish of the keys. Use only a clean piece of cheesecloth, lightly dampened, to wipe the keys. Be very careful that dampness does not seep between the keys or down into the keybed. Dampness in the keybed can cause swelling and hamper the free play of the keys.
