Ridding Piano Odors
By Bob and Sonja Lemon

John Tuttle asks about removing odors from pianos -- permanently!

We have been successful in deodorizing pianos where mice have lived
for a long time by washing wherever possible with a solution of ammonia
water (wear gloves), drying, then using _One Drop_ all purpose house-
hold deodorizer.  This product is distributed by Willert Home Products,
Inc. St. Louis MO.  We buy it in the households section of the grocery
store or pharmacy.

This product does not mask odors but actually absorbs them.  Apply a
few drops to a piece of tissue and place in the offending area.  You
may have to repeat several times in various locations in the piano to
completely eliminate all odors, but it works!  The ammonia helps to
remove the dirt and neutralize odor.  Be careful -- do not overdo the
moisture!  Allow all parts to dry thoroughly!
