Description

An old cleaning method that uses pieces of bread to remove Dirt and Lead pencil marks from Paper and Parchment. Dry or moist bread crumbs act as a soft abrasive and sorbent material. Larger pieces of fresh bread rolled into a ball have also been used. Neither method is recommended because of the potential for leaving residual flour or grease on the pages.
