If it bled it would wreck the perc (dry cleaning fluid) and then they 
would have to distill it all to remove the dye. Any sort of washing will 
remove the starch/sizing and then lose the finish and shape. If it's 
made from blocked felt then it would be completely wrecked and 
worthless. You can attempt to lightly brush it clean. Ric
