Mephisto Mephisto FACT if I stop posting, trillions and trillions of transistors would be out of work. Registered: 08/18/03 Posts: 4899 Loc: Streaks on the china never mat...	I have some comics that have dust on the covers. Would it be ok to spray them down with lemon pledge to get the dust off, or would this be a bad thing? _________________________ http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2257 Updated 8/2/2008 WANTED - Creatures on the Loose 32 Cover Art by John Romita Sr.

ronm3 ronm3 I was posting here when you were in diapers. Registered: 01/18/03 Posts: 3476 Loc: New Jersey	Take a vacuum cleaner preferably a wind tunnel and hold it down on the cover. Do this repeatedly until all of the dust comes off. If that doesnt work than get a washboard and rub them up and down it. Then I put them in the microwave to dry them. let me know how it goes.

I've had good luck buying dust mites and letting them graze on the dust. Just get a big aquarium or similar structure or the mites will multiply too much and you'll have problems from that. _________________________

Silvers24 Silvers24 Butters The Boy Wonder TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 11/01/05 Posts: 10496 Loc: Cyberspace, OH.	What is so bad? My comic book collection I got from my brother I sprayed lemon pledge (VERY LITGHTLY I know what wet does to paper) on a wash cloth and did a up and down rub on the cover. Took all dirt (No ink) off. And left the comic nice and great looking. BUt lucky for me I have no plans to sell my collection. But really. What could it possibly do? So if you don't sell it, I say use lemon pledge. AND A WASH CLOTH. Edited by Silvers24 (12/18/05 11:47 AM) _________________________ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Fan. \|C\|O\|M\|I\|C\|S\| mY aNTi dRuG Collecting Comics is Sofa King cool.
