Rick Baldassin says the most important thing you can do to care for your piano is to keep it dusted. He says never use a dry cloth on your piano.
If you have a shiny finish, use a micro-fiber cloth that is moistened with Windex.
For the keys, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water.
You can vacuum any place you can see. Rick recommends using the brush attachment.
Of course, for tuning and regular cleanings, Baldassin Pianos are the pros to take care of your needs.
