You can purchase a used piano instead of a new piano in order to get a better deal. Used pianos will also have more character and history over pianos that are mass-manufactured and bought brand new. When you purchase a used piano you may find that there are some faults or light damage on it that needs fixing. You must take extra care when you are fixing or cleaning your used piano, as if you use the wrong products you can accidently damage it. This article provides several top tips that will help you to clean your used piano.
Cleaning Products
It is essential that you use the correct cleaning products for the type if used piano that you own. Many large music stores will sell special cleaning products which have been designed for use on pianos, or you can also purchase these products from specialist online retailers. Never use standard household cleaning products as many of these often contain harsh ingredients which can damage the surface of the piano.
The same applies when you are using cloths to clean the piano. Don’t use old rags as these can have hard fibres which can scratch the surface of the piano. You should only use soft cloths that are designed for use on the type of wood that you are cleaning.
Technique
Always follow the instructions that are on the cleaning product’s packaging. Never leave the product on for longer than it is stated on the instructions. When it comes to applying the product you should spray it directly onto the cloth, as if you spray it onto the piano it can drip and damage the keys. You should also make sure that all residue is properly cleaned off of the piano.
Serious Problems
If you have any hard to remove scratches, or any serious damage to your used piano then you will want to approach a specialist and get them to clean and repair it for you. They will have the skills and expertise to be able to effectively repair any damage and have your used piano looking as good as new again.
