I do definitely remember a professor of heritage conservation telling me
that decades ago, the inner parts of bread were used to clean frescoes.
And his next phrase was: "That is not done anymore, because it resulted in
heavy problems with mould growth on the paintings."
I will never forget - it was in an examination, and that cleaning with
bread could be done at all was utterly new to me : /
So maybe it would be a good idea to look for publications on the
aftereffects of cleaning with bread on paintings before trying it on
textiles?
Best greetings,
Katrin
