How to Get Odor Out of a Piano Organ

A piano organ, also called pipe organ, is a piano made with metallic tubes that sound tones when the keyboard changes the airflow to the pipes. Your piano organ may have a musty smell if you have stored it in humid place, such as a basement or a garage. Your piano organ may have a smoky smell if there was a fire in the building, or smell of rodents' urine. Most commercial products will not remove the smell in your organ piano; they will just cover it. However, there are a number of affordable products that will remove the odors forever.

Baking Soda
Bleach
Vinegar
Naphthalene balls

Instructions

- 1
  Sprinkle sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) over all the surfaces of the instrument and let it set for a few days. Vacuum the instrument by using the detachable hose.
- 2
  Scrub the piano organ's wooden parts with chlorine bleach diluted to get rid of odors coming from mold, mildew or fungus. Mix together 1 cup of bleach and 1 gallon of water. Let the piano air dry.
- 3
  Put five or six charcoal briquettes inside the piano organ; they will absorb any odor, but they need to be replaced every two months.
- 4
  Wipe the wooden parts of the organ piano with a solution that is half vinegar, half water. Saturate a sponge and wipe all surfaces. Clean the sponge with warm water between each application. Vinegar is an acid; it will cut through the resin and tar left out by the smoke after a fire.

  Put naphthalene balls inside the piano. Close the instrument.
