> Dear Museum List Servers-
>
> In our 1890s log cabin we have large rag rugs that are going to be taken
> apart by a dedicated group of volunteers. The rags are going to be reused
> into fresh rugs made on a loom. We would like to clean them first. A few
> suggested options are to vacuum them, beat them with a rug beater, or
> launder the individual rags using lingerie bags. The rugs are fairly large
> and I would like to keep the labor down to a minimum for our volunteers
> graciously using their time to help. I am attaching a few photos of the
> rugs to give an idea of what we are dealing with.
>
> Any thoughts or first hand experiences would be much appreciated.
>
> Sincerely,
>
