Of course, the body is made out of metal. That’s how it is so heavy and sturdy.

Hi androcci,
I use a micro fibre cloth and small amount of rubbing alcohol to clean my keys, and around dials, sliders, wheels, ribbon, any/all controls.
For the matte black body, mostly just small amount of warm clean water, preferrably distilled water, again with a clean micro fibre dust free cloth.
Wash my hands before I play.

I use the vacuum cleaner with a big soft brush every month.
In the daytime I have a piano cover over the keys and when not in use
I cover it with a total cover sheet.

Stains should be tried first with a dry soft cloth, if not successful
try like Chas did.
;JOOP!

Micro fibre cloth… do not use any type of cleaner.

A micro fibre cloth that was wet and wrung out to dry yesterday (in other words very, very little moisture). But Micro Fibre is the key.
