    Cleaning Piano Keys

    What is recommended for cleaning piano keys? I don't fancy using alcohol wipes.
    My keys are wood with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    For normal cleaning I simply use a slightly damp cloth and possibly a few drops of white vinegar. However if you wish to disinfect the keys here are recommendations from Steinway:

    To disinfect your piano — the keys are the most important part. Over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide available from any pharmacy, is safe for piano keys.

    Dampen a cotton pad with hydrogen peroxide and use the pad to wipe down the piano keytops (back to front) between players.

    Use diluted alcohol-based disinfectants, do not use bleach-based disinfectants or any product containing citrus.

    If using a spray or liquid bottle, use a disposable pads or soft cloths. Put the disinfectant on the towel and not the piano.

    Always follow up with a dry towel and never leave any liquids on the piano or keys.
