Cleaning Piano Keys

Whatever you use, don't spray it on as the excess leaks down between the keys into the piano. Wipe anything on with a soft cloth and use sparingly. Doing this 2 or 3 times is better than having the excess ruin the inner workings and the wood!

In days gone by we used mayonaise to clean ivory keys.

I think the ivory can take it. I would try the Goo Gone or if you are really paranoid about that stuff try some Simple Green. Spray it on and let it soak, then clean it off. I used to buy Simple Green at my local automotive store like Pep Buys, High Gear, Advanced Auto or Auto Zone. Any of them should have it.

How do I get the yellow out of my ivory piano keys without harming it? It has to be a child and animal safe substance. We have tried fingernail polish remover. Does this damage the keys?

How do I clean nicotine off of ivory piano keys?
