Care You Can Do at Home

What kind of care is required?

  • To protect your piano from dust or dirt, keep clean the surface of the finish always.

Finishes

  • Lightly brush off surface dust using a piano feather duster or soft cloth.
  • Before using piano wax or polish, consult with the store where you purchased the piano, or a specialty piano store. Depending on the piano model, some types or brands of wax and polish may not be acceptable.
  • Avoid using chemical-impregnanted wipes or cleaning agents which are not designed for piano because their chemical compositions may not suit for piano's finish.

Keyboard

  • Wipe gently using a soft cloth (use separate clothes to wipe down keyboard and piano finishes).
  • When dirt is noticeable, dampen a cloth in a dilute solution of a neutral detergent, wring out well, and use this cloth to wipe away the dirt.
  • Never use any kind of alcohol such as rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol because it can cause cracking.
  • Generally speaking, the best thing to do is to refrain from playing with dirty hands.
