<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 647986, member: 10171"]If by 'clean' you mean that you have no intentions of altering it, like a museum conservator, use a small vacuum cleaner and cover anything you intend to vacuum with a fine fiberglass window screen -- either by placing the screen directly on and over the trunk surfaces, like where the paper would be sucked off - the screen holds it down safely, or, placing the screen over the nozzle of the vacuum (like a panty hose screen). That way there is no physical 'brushing' and you suck off the dust. </p><p><br /></p><p>If by clean you mean restore... personally I love it the way it looks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
