I have a 60 year old Coverlet ( double bed size ) 16/2, 10/2 cotton. It has been stored in an archival box however there has been a piece that has camelids fiber in it that was stored in the same box. I have a guest coming , I would love to use the coverlet however she is allergic to camelids. How can I clean this coverlet? If I can't be sure all the camelid fibers are removed I of course will not use it. But I would still like to search out advice as to cleaning. I had thought about washing it by hand in the bath tub with orvis or synthapol then spinning in the dryer. However have no place to let it dry. Would dry cleaning ruin it?
Thank you in advance,
Cathie
