sentences:  If a textile item is relatively thin and light, and is safe to wet, it can be laid out flat on a piece of glass which is larger than the item.Before each use, the glass surface should be cleaned with 'safe' cleaners, as for the textile itself (see 'Wet Cleaning,' above), even if the glass has been kept in a clean place.The last rinse of the glass should ideally be with a very clean cotton cloth and distilled water.
