  2. PRST5450-eTraining Book Cleaning Tips “Preventive Measures” • Being proactive and using preventive measures can insure book longevity. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: • Keep your hands clean/dry when handling books (use white gloves for special materials) • Prohibit the use of food or drink around your collection(s) • Shelf books in a proper manner (i.e. spine out; spine up or laid horizontal for tall books; no cramming, no loosening) • Retrieve books in a proper manner (grasp the spine, not the head) • Maintain the environment your books are housed (70F/50% humidity) http://cfuller-etraining.yolasite.com/

  3. PRST5450-eTraining Book Cleaning Tips “Cleaning Tools” • There are all sorts of tools used during the cleaning process. They vary with the task at hand.

Here is a list of common tools used for book cleaning. • Soft, clean cloths • Soft brushes • Art-Gum Eraser • Plastic Eraser • Steel Eraser (knife) • Liquid Ink Eradicator • Fine-Grade Sandpaper • Book Cleaner • Document Cleaning Pad http://cfuller-etraining.yolasite.com/

  4. PRST5450-eTraining Book Cleaning Tips “Removing markings (pencil, ink, etc.) from pages” Most pencil and some ink marks can be removed using art-gum or plastic erasers. Rub an eraser from the inside margin outward to avoid wrinkles. With most ink marks, a steel eraser is your best bet, though you can try commercial liquid ink erasers. If after all is done the ink stain remains (i.e. ballpoint markings), it’s best to leave alone to avoid extreme paper damage. http://cfuller-etraining.yolasite.com/

  5. PRST5450-eTraining Book Cleaning Tips “Dusting” • There are simple tips that can help reduce the amount of dusting required in many cases. For starters, make sure you shelf books in close manners. It keeps dust and debris from entering loose books and covers. For other cases, following the below tips. • Using soft cloths or brushes can remove most dust, especially from edges. • Using a vacuum cleaner is another method. Use precaution in the suction power by placing cheesecloth or other mesh-like materials in front of the nozzle to catch loose bits (i.e. ripped pages). • Stubborn dirt can be removed using erasers (art-gum or plastic) http://cfuller-etraining.yolasite.com/
