how do I wash these?
#1
I have two small unbound quilts - about doll size, that I had put in our storage area and somehow they ended up on the floor where mice have trampled on them. I know because of the droppings that were on them. I shook all that off and they look fine otherwise, but they should be cleaned before I bind them.
Also, they've bitten into some bags of batting. Tiny spots that are dirty. I guess I'll just have to wash them. I do like them shrinking after quilting, but there you are.

I am so sorry!!! :(:(:(
I would let them soak and be very careful handling them while rinsing. Lay them out flat to dry. You also may want to block them.
I wonder if you should use an antibacterial soap on them, as mice droppings are pretty unsanitary.

Geez I HATE when that happens!!! and stains from rodent "leavings" are almost impossible to get out. Don't ask how I know. Next time you have to store that stuff, scatter dryer sheets around with it.. mice and bugs HATE those.
