I just want to bump this for you Steve but I don't know the answer. I am not ptimistic about cleaning one myself. I have never tried to clean a felt or silk. I just leave them alone
. I guess some kind of dry cloth and barely tapping the dirty spot(s) to get anything you can off, might work, albeit not much. I would be very careful not to pat it too hard or spread the grime/dirt. A conservator could have a go at it but it might not be worth the expense. Those are just a few thoughts to entertain. regards
One other thing came to mind too. If the stuff you are trying to get off came from sitting in the attic, and isn't too embedded, you might try applying some lightly pressured air, very gently, to the spots. That might knock off some loose particles and help.
