It is a widely-known fact that traditional pianos require a lot of care. In fact, many would even say that these types of pianos are very high-maintenance, which is one of the reasons why they look for other options, such as a digital piano. Does that mean, then, that digital pianos do not require any maintenance at all? Of course not.
Digital pianos, too, need to be cared for, especially if you hope and expect to get a lot of years out of them. Here, let us give you a few tips on maintaining your digital piano.

1. CHOOSE THE LOCATION OF YOUR PIANO
Treat your digital piano like any other piece of precious furniture; in fact, treat it like you would a traditional, or even a grand, piano. A digital piano is also prone to damage due to certain elements, such as heat, water, or even humidity. Therefore, choose the location or part of the house or room for the piano.

DO NOT place the digital piano in an area where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, water, or moisture.
DO NOT put the digital piano directly in an area where you expect a lot of foot traffic. You don’t want people to keep bumping into it or hitting against it, even if it’s just the corners.

DO NOT place the piano close to electronic appliances and devices that emit heat, such as a heater, computer, and stoves, to name a few.
DO place the piano at least 4 meters away from the heat sources mentioned above.

2. USE ONLY APPROPRIATE CLEANING METHODS
Digital pianos need to be cleaned a certain way. Even the best digital pianos are not completely immune to damage; many have been ruined or became faulty for the simple reason that the owners did not clean them properly.
DO NOT use water or wet cloth to clean or wipe the digital piano. Instead, use a clean, dry cloth.
DO check the instructions manual or the manufacturer’s notes for specific and acceptable cleaning methods, just to be on the safe side.
DO wash your hands and wipe them dry before playing the piano, especially if you’ve just finished having a snack or doing household chores. You don’t want grease or dirt from your hands to dirty the keys. The dirt will also affect the way your fingers will interact with the keys while playing.

3. OBSERVE PROPER PLUGGING
Many accidents have happened due to faulty electrical outlets or improper plugging, so it’s a given that you, too, should observe the proper way of using the plugs with respect to your digital piano.

DO NOT overload an outlet by plugging your digital piano alongside your desktop computer, microwave oven, or other electrical appliances. Sharing an outlet can interfere with the quality of sound and the overall performance of the piano. Overloading can also lead to circuits shorting out, fire, and physical injuries, not to mention major damage to your digital piano.

DO NOT let cords and cables lie around haphazardly. Make sure they are out of the way, so no one will accidentally trip over them.
DO make sure that the outlet you are using is in good working order. Check the surge suppressor or the outlet strip and replace them if you find problems. DO unplug the digital piano when not in use, but make sure you turn it off first before pulling the plug.
