========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:Hello all-Thanks to those who responded regarding the cleaning of cotton gloves used in the collection room.On another note, I am working on an exhibit from the permanent collection and an old wood and brass standing sign is to be displayed. (It is a freestanding sign formerly in our old theater building.) We want to use this sign in the exhibit but the heavy wooden frame is dirty from years of neglect. The brass also needs cleaning. Do I wash the wooden portions (with Murphy Oil Soap) and use brass cleaner on the trim?Thanks all-Sandra CampbellIredell MuseumsThe Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
