general recommendations from the piano technicians guild

  • Use alcohol-based disinfectants, do not use bleach-based disinfectants or any product containing citrus.

  • If using a spray or liquid bottle, use a disposable towel like WYPALL L30. Put the disinfectant on the towel and not the piano. 

  • After use, immediately put the towel or disinfectant hand wipe in the trash and wash your hands as the CDC recommends. Do not use reusable towels or cloths which could spread germs to your kit or the next customer.

  • Always follow up with a dry towel and never leave any liquids on the piano or keys.
