<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 62148, member: 78"]Hi Robin,</p><p> Sorry about the mishap. It is good to see you around again. The cleaning depends on what materials are in it. If it is washable let it soak in a bathtub with cool water and a very mild soap. Then pull the plug and let it drain. Add the plug and fill it to rinse, do this several times. When done with the last drain. You can put it in the washing maching on spin only to help dry it out. Wringing out by hand can cause threads to break and strain the fabric. When done spinning lay the quilt out flat to dry. I wish 6 Rivets would stop in.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
