how to clean keys...

A damp cloth is really all you can use, just be careful not to use anything abrasive as it will damage the ivory feel material. Also, you should cover your keyboard with a cover when it's not in use. Keywear makes pro keyboard covers for cheap. The one I got for my 700GX was like $20 and it protects against dust and other no-no's for electronic equipment.

BTW I checked the care and maintenance portion of the manual and it says you can use commercial keyboard cleaner not containing abrasives. (check with the musical instrument store that you bought the keyboard at)

DO NOT USE, benzene, paint thinner, or alcohol.

thanks! i'll check around....if anyone knows the brand of the cleaner not containing abrasives please let me know.
i got the unit from GC but they are not aware of any brand.

I second the case for covering your board. It's a real pain, so simple, but once you get in the habit, you'll notice a difference.

i will do that, but the dirt/grime that is on it is due to the sweat/fluids and dirty fingers moreso than the dust that collects on it.


any cleaning solution brand suggestion would really help.

I hate to recommend something I haven't used myself.

You might be ok with just Windex glass cleaner. They have another without the ammonia. Vinegar/water is an old trick, also citrus cleaners do a good job. The less industrial the better, no works! Just be careful, test a small area first, and definitely use only a damp cloth, no drip drip.

thanks! i'll look around and post back a brand i find that works.
