There's more than one way to skin a cat, or clean a strop. I did the washing machine, elbow grease thing. It came out ok. Lot's of work, pressing inbetween heavy books to flatten it back out, etc...and then it came out so so. Even the ends of my vintage linen frayed, and had to be trimmed.

I read the carpet cleaner thing on here, and tried it recently. ( Thanks Jimmy, maybe? I'm not sure) Like Martin, I got great results with minimal effort. I still work a full time job, and hone on the side, My time is extremely limited, so I have to work smarter and faster.

Whatever works for you....

Enjoy,
