Exterior Cleaning
An exterior cleaning service includes dusting and cleaning the entirety of the piano case and keys, as well as polishing some of the brass components like the pedals and fallboard locks. Scratches can usually be brought down to minimum visibility. A wide variety of non-toxic cleaning products and polishes are kept on hand in order to bring out the natural beauty in any type of piano finish, from open pore woods to high-gloss polyester.
Just look at the difference that a little polish can make:

In some cases, a piano may be so extremely damaged that only refinishing can bring back its exterior beauty. Having said that, you might be surprised to see the difference that a professional cleaning can make! Call or email to discuss your needs, and feel free to send pictures of your piano.
Interior Cleaning
The large amount of dust that accumulates inside of a piano can be alarming. Dust is abrasive. Dirt and grit will shorten the life of your piano by wearing out its parts. Dust also attracts moisture, which can cause the metal components of your piano to rust. Having the inside of your piano properly cleaned will prolong its life.
For interior cleanings, the action is removed and dust and debris are blown out of it. The keys are removed and dust is blown off, and the keybed is thoroughly vacuumed.
The photos below show a piano with its keys removed. The left photo shows the shocking amount of dust (and other debris) that builds up under the keys. The photo on the right is what it looks like after being cleaned. Much better!
