Protecting Your Piano
Treat your piano like fine furniture — and it will reward you with decades of great music.
•Keep it clean and clutter-free: Never place drinks, flowers, or plants on your piano — spills can cause costly internal damage.
•Avoid sunlight and humidity: Position your piano away from radiators, air vents, and direct sunlight to prevent fading, swelling, or cracking.
•Dust gently and regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the surface and keys.
For specialist piano care in Cardiff, Newport, Abergavenny, Usk, Bristol, and Monmouthshire, our technicians can advise on the best placement and maintenance routine for your home.

Cleaning the Piano Finish
•Modern finishes (polyester or satin lacquer): Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. No polish required.
•Older French-polished pianos: Use a high-quality reviver and soft cloth. Avoid spray polish, which can damage the finish.
Regular gentle cleaning keeps your piano looking elegant while protecting the wood and lacquer from wear.

Caring for the Keys
•Clean carefully: Use a slightly damp cloth, taking care not to let water seep between keys.
•Avoid chemicals and abrasives: These can harm ivory or synthetic keytops.
•For deep cleaning: Ask a professional technician — we provide expert piano cleaning and key restoration across South Wales and Bristol.

Everyday Piano Care Tips
•Tune regularly: Have your piano tuned and serviced by a qualified technician at least once or twice a year.
•Use a piano cover: Protect from dust and scratches when not in use.
•Maintain stable conditions: Avoid temperature or humidity extremes — your piano will stay in tune longer and sound better.
