[QUOTE="comma, post: 893996, member: 11942"]Hi guys. I just picked up a bunch of large mirrors that came off of mid century dressers. My favorite mirror has a backboard made of some kind of very thick cardboard or pressed board of some type. Any time you rub up against it you get brown stuff all over you. It appears to be shedding. I really want to keep this in my apartment so just trying to weigh my options. I have not tried anything yet to clean it. It is a textured surface so wiping down with a wet rag doesn't really work. Any tips or tricks on how to clean this or stabilize it or should I just take the whole piece off and throw it away? I like the backboard because it has the date and other info for the piece on it. Thanks! [URL='https://ibb.co/55zxSM9'][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/K9Qzf0G/IMG-3915.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/QUOTE]
