Hi,
I am curious about how to clean my PSR S970 keyboard keys? Are there any special treatments or sprays to clean them?

This may help you, Rush. :)
Follow similar steps for wiping off moisture. All the keys then must be dried with a dry cloth. A commercial cleaning spray can be used for digital pianos and you can easily get your digital piano keyboard clean. If the keyboard is really dirty, you may use soap or a mild detergent mixed with little water.

For years I have been using a very lightly damped well washed cotton cloth with a little spray of lense-cleaner on it. The stuff you use to clean glasses and of course camera lenses. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to get dust out between the keys (and the rest of the keyboard). Use a dust cover when not in use. Can't believe how many people just leave their expensive toy uncovered.

Two words: denatured alcohol.

There are covers you can buy to cover the keyboard while not in use. I will get one of these :)

I went to a local tailor and had them made. So easy!

Here's just one of several places that stock keyboard covers, Toril. :) The link follows:

Just do a Google Search for "Yamaha Keyboard Covers" or "keyboard covers".

I made my own cover. I also try to remember to wash my hands before playing.

PS: It's kind of like backing up your USB thumb drive on the computer. I almost lost all my data when I physically damaged a drive. After that I got wise.

Thanks Roger and Joe H :)

I certainly don’t recommend this, but I wondered if anyone else remembers their mother cleaning the house piano keys with a cloth moistened with cows’ milk?

I use a paper towel lightly dampened with household ammonia and wipe down each key. Window cleaner (Windex) on a paper towel works as well. Amazing(disgusting) the 'stuff' your fingers can leave on the keys even if you think your hands are clean :) .

I purchased a Gator cover today. Yamaha had one also, but it was double the price! The cover has an ajustable chord for perfect fit. They had them at my music store, so I got it today. Now my dear S970 is tucked in. When evening comes I will sing a lullaby :)

I use a spray cleaner for LCD screens for cleaning the keys and the screen.
And, of course, a microfiber cloth.
For the rest of the case, I use only clean water.
But since I bought a yamaha cover, the whole surface is still clean after several months. ;)

I like 'slippy' keys ... Mr Sheen for me (like Pledge)!
However, I clean with LCD screen cleaner every few months.
