Re: [padg] Disposable Dust cloths

[Rachel Hoff <rhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ms. Brown,
My library went through a similar issue a year or so ago.  I am not a
fan of any of these disposable products because they will leave oily
residues on shelves and I would never use them on books for that same
reason.

We compromised on magnetic dusting cloths that can be reused and reused
but not washed a bunch.  Gaylord product " 20401610.  I have taken to
washing our cloths, including these, at my home in my washer with NO
detergents.

Hope that helps some.
Thank you.
Rachel
