It is interesting how just a few decades ago (or less) dry clean and press was frowned upon yet is now fully accepted practice. I wonder if solvent cleaning will follow suit, given how easily most here on this thread are willing to accept it. If you really understood how paper is made, the chemical and physical makeup of it, you would realize the long term danger to the books using chemicals to clean Them up.

I think it would be interesting if after everyone gives their opinion, they state whether they sell some books, many books, or none at all.

I think it's resto, just like I think pressing is resto. They're at varying degrees, but that's still what I think. Even if this chemical is "rinsed away", it was still added. I call that resto. When humidity is added for pressing, just because the heat removes it, it was still added. Resto. I can live with pressing by a reputable pro (not self proclaimed), but I'm not a fan of the idea of chemicals.

I do not consider myself a seller, although I have sold in the past, and will likely sell in the future. But those have just been and will be 'thinning the herd', and not as a form of income.

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life. 27.13K	27.13K kaptainmyke private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 1
	Same. I will not be using this method on my books either.

	For those of us who are relatively ignorant about the subject, how does this process differ from dry cleaning? Is it just because they use the distilled water as a rinse? Rather than another chemical fluid?

I live in RI and Rhode Islanders eat chili with beans. 105.14K	105.14K esaravo private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 1
	@Marximus - Dry cleaning, by definition, doesn’t include the use of liquids. Basically, dirt and grime are erased or rubbed off. What is being discussed is cleaning with a water-based solvent followed by a water rinse to remove traces of the solvent. So you cover your tracks.

	I personally use Arm and Hammer with Oxi Clean! Works wonders on grass and wine stains! Outdoor line drying makes pressing easier and sometimes not even necessary.
