> 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, > > -- > > Jenny Mack > Exhibits Manager > Monroe County History Center > 202 E. 6th St. > Bloomington, IN 47408 > 812-332-2517 > http://monroehistory.org/ > > > -- Jenny Mack Exhibits Manager Monroe County History Center 202 E. 6th St. Bloomington, IN 47408 812-332-2517 http://monroehistory.org/ ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
