piano cover cleaning

[Annie Grieshop]

What, you never do the laundry at your house, Wim?

Actually, I figured that those who work in/with universities would have run
into this problem, too, as a cover that hits the floor more than once is
likely to need cleaning eventually.  And I wondered whether those
organizations send their covers out for dry cleaning.

  For the sake of being careful not to damage the cover even more, I would
suggest you take it to a professional cleaner. And besides, why are you
asking us? We're piano tuner, not dry cleaners. :)

  Good morning, y'all, and happy "Goodbye February!"  (The first of March,
here in Ioway, looks ickier than the last of February, but it's still the
first of March. <g>)

  A local community center has two grands with quilted cotton duck covers
that have been treated about as you'd expect -- so the covers are dirty and
a great upset to the Powers That Be.  Can they (the covers, that is) be
washed and dried in commercial machines, or do they need to be dry cleaned?
No one seems to know where the covers were purchased or from whom or
anything else.

  Thanks!
