<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baggins1607, post: 2065378, member: 73364&quot;]The best method I have found for cleaning dirty and worn banknotes is to soak them in a solution of warm water and Dawn dish soap.&nbsp; I use about half as much soap as I would to wash dishes.&nbsp; After the note has soaked for at least an hour I replace the water and repeat. Continue changing the water until it is no longer dirty after an hour or so of soaking. Finally soak the note in warm clear water for another half hour or so to rinse out the soap.</p><p>Place the note between a few sheets of blotter paper under a heavy book (The SCWPM is about right) over night.&nbsp; Replace the blotter paper with dry sheets and repeat.&nbsp; Do this until the note no longer wants to wrinkle and curl when exposed to the air (2-3 times).</p><p>While this would be a terrible thing to do to a VF or better note, it will certainly improve the condition of a filthy and well worn note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
