<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 1827992, member: 360&quot;]I&#039;d suggest starting with that big brown streak across the middle, and work outwards from there. Basically - spray some water across the stain, then layer 2-3 sheets of paper towel on it. Spray the paper-towel with just enough water to get that damp, too, and then carefully iron on low or medium heat. Check under the paper towel every now and then to see if there&#039;s any results. Basically, the steam permeates the fabric and shifts and loosens any grime, and the wicking and moisture of the fabric and paper-towel will transfer it to the paper-towel. Move and remoisten as necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should point out that the upper skiver is the only thing that holds the upper half of the writing-slope in place. There&#039;s no hinges or nails in there (this was a VERY common construction-method back in the day), so excessive heat may loosen the glue that holds it together. So iron gently, and check the paper-towel to see if any grime is coming off onto it. Move the iron around and don&#039;t let it linger in any one place too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may not remove all the grime, but it should at least remove something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
