Suggested Equipment & Supplies:
Procedure:
1. If there are grease-like marks in the book try absorbing by interleaving the book with paper towels and closing the book. If that is unsuccessful, try sprinkling the contents of a dry cleaning pad on the marks. Let sit for awhile, then brush dust away.
2. Using the vacuum and a soft brush, gently brush and vacuum book. Always brush away from the gutter of the book to the edge.
3. Shake the contents of a dry cleaning pad over the dirty page and using your finger tips very gently and lightly rub the pad dust over the page in a circular manner. CAUTION: BRITTLE PAPER is weak and may break if erasing is attempted.
4. Brush away the dry cleaning pad dust and dirt very lightly with a soft brush. Vacuum the book.
5. Erase pencil marks using the plastic eraser. Stroke with the eraser in a forward motion towards the page edge. Brush away eraser dust and dirt very lightly with a soft brush. Vacuum the book.
NOTE: INK and HIGHLIGHTER marks cannot be removed.
