How can I keep my piano clean?

How about buying a cover. I'd keep the keys covered. They look quite dirty, too. Are they ivory? Google and find out how to clean ivory. I layed a piano runner over the top of mine and it collects dust. My furance pipes need to be cleaned. It sits in our living room in front of pocket doors. It's difficult to practice because my husband watches TV. I haven't played it for years, but after I downsize my unused items I plan on playing it. I received an inheritance from my grandma and used it to buy it. As a child, I always wanted to play the piano, but my dad had a bad experince with the piano and I never got a chance. I started as an adult. I loved to practice, but it interfered with the TV. I hope my suggestions will help you out and that you don't mind my individual story.

Dust on the piano, oh my!. The only time I solved that was when I had the maid in once a week. Only way is to reduce the dust that gets in the room, clean HVAC filters, etc., dust will fall if it is in the room, just more noticable on the big flat shiney wood surface. I use a duster often.

try a microfiber cloth

Try dusting with a dryer sheet, they say it helps keep the dust away. I have heard of using them to dust baseboards so thought it might work on your piano too. Hope this is helpful.

Our cleaning lady taught me about Endust. It's awesome. It works great for all of those surfaces that don't really fit in to a Windex or Pledge type of category. My husband has a desk/bookshelf set that has a very shiny black surface (straight from the early nineties). Endust is the only way to go with that type thing. Hope this helps!

Use the utensil on a vacuum cleaner to clean. Then use a cover, this can then be taken outside to dispose of dust.

They have felt keyboard covers and close the wood keyboard cover when not playing. Rule in our house has always been wash hands before touching the piano. My father was a registered piano technician that co-founded the Baltimore Chapter of the PTG. He passed away in 1994. Tuned for many celebrities that came to play in the Baltimore area. Also, keep the piano away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Best on an inside wall.

Vacuum with the soft brush attachment. There is dust btwn the keys as well. If you don't have one of those round soft brush attachments , try a stiffer duster. Then keep the keys covered when not in use. We also have a felt cover for the keys. It fits on the keyboard before you actually close it.

OUR PIANO TUNER SAID TO TAKE A SOFT CLOTH AND PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF WINDEX ON IT. IT CLEANS THE IVORY KEYS BEAUTIFULLY.

Take lemon juice and dilute it with some water...it works beautifully on ivory piano keys then wipe dry

I know a concert pianist and she covers the keys completely with a long piece of felt and of course closes the cover. She travels up to 3 months at a time and says it really works to keep the dust off the keys.
