Washing felt

Jun 24, 2007 2 Replies

Hi I have made a rug out of felt horse ribbons that my son won, but it needs to be washed & I am concerned it will shrink, how do I go about it? I washed (cold water)1 ribbon once & it shrunk. Thanks Sandra


It can't be washed, and I'd hesitate to dry clean it. Try degerminated corn meal -- the very cheapest kind; the better it is for food the worse for cleaning. Brush it into the dirty spots, let it sit overnight, vacuum out the corn meal.
