Handyman's Pocket Book: Cleaning Piano Keys.

When these have become discoloured they can generally be cleaned by rubbing with whiting and methylated spirits.  To avoid whiting being worked between the key the last named should be removed.  If only an odd key or two has to be dealt with a piece of card can be placed temporarily between them.

I assume that this is for genuine ivory keys? The new plastic ones don't yellow, but I know that yellowed look the real ivory ones get. I like pianos.
