    Hello,

    What do you use to clean the finger prints off your harps? My harps are looking messy, but I am afraid to use dusting spray or water. Any suggestions?

    I use a dry microfiber cloth designated for use on fine furniture, Works great.

    I wold never touch the gilding and I’d never use spray.

    You cannot use Endust, it is full of citrus oils! Use only the Lyon & Healy polish. An 80s Salzedo has a lacquer finish, not polyurethane. Use a little dampness on the cloth to clean dirt, then polish and then buff it. You can use, I believe, a tiny bit of detergent such as Ivory, a mild one, to help get grease off. Nothing else!
