directions: Squeeze the pad and sprinkle the particles over the surface to be cleaned, then roll them around like bread crumbs under your fingers. Once they have bonded with the dirt, you can blow or brush them off and continue to a different area.

These Dry Cleaning Pads contain small erasing granules that are just perfect for dry cleaning paper, cloth or suede bound book covers – anything you can’t wash.

This item comes from the same source as the brand name boxed versions, Opaline & Lineco.
