    You can use a healthy amount of white vinegar (comes in gallon size at Walmart or grocery stores) to disinfect.

    The tops are a real find. Do wash!! I agree with AZ Jane. Breathing the dust and polutants in the air of an old uninhabited building can cause serious disease. Consider wearing a mask when poking about these places! Like the cartoon says...I hate those mieces to pieces!

    So so true!! Know someone who cleaned up an old barn and picked up this virus from mice. Unfortunately, he died even after being in a hospital for weeks..... It's a serious disease.....please be careful!

    Camouflage is the name of the game ... applique pretty flowers over places on the blue and white. There are so many good spot removers out there now and the front loader machines will just tumble the quilts, not beat them with the agitator. Good luck!!
