Cleaning & Polishing Keys
After trying many different methods, the thing I find that works best is to
soak the keys, hanging from a rack above large tubs of hot water with some
"Fantastic" in the water and then one by one, clean with a cloth and a tooth brush
in the corners. Don't soak the felts...

Fill tub with hot water
to a level just below the felts | Leave them soak for at
least an hour then wipe clean |

Unless you put new labels | I prefer this | To this... |
Find something to lay out the keys on.
After cleaning, the older keys, up to somewhere in the mid 60's, can
be polished
with a cloth wheel and jeweler's rouge but don't try it
on organs made after 1970.
They will melt. Always test one first
just to be on the safe side.
