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.
