trapo
cloth ; rag.
But edition binding in leather was at least as early as edition binding in cloth.
The raw material of white paper was undyed linen - or in very early days hempen - rags, which the paper-maker bought in bulk, sorted and washed, and then put by in a damp heap for four or five days to rot.

rag doll
This article explains how the epistolatory aspect of the books was exploited by the librarian in encouraging interest in the stories and how the children's craft work was brought into the matter (making rag dolls of the characters).
muñeco negro de trapo [Abreviatura de golliwog] [Abreviado a a veces a golly]
golly
gollywog
It beggars belief that the liberals view the golly as a racist artefact of unenlightened times.
The thought never entered my head that a gollywog was offensive until it got banned - to me it was just a doll.
papel de trapo [Papel en cuya elaboración se ha utilizado preferentemente pasta de trapo]
rag paper
The introduction of mouldmade paper (which is a fine machine-made rag paper which looks like hand-made) in about 1920 reduced the production of real hand-made yet further.
pasta de trapo [Materia fibrosa obtenida de tratar con medios mecánicos o químicos trapos viejos y que constituye la base en la fabricación del papel] [En la fabricación de papel, mezcla espesa que se obtenía de disolver trapos viejos para la elaboración del papel]
rag stock
stock
Another variant of the cylinder machine which had some success was the mould machine, introduced in England in about 1910 for making imitation hand-made (mouldmade) paper from rag stock.
At first, paper made from bleached stock was not so handsome as the unbleached papers of the hand-press period had been - apart from any foxing, it tended to be greyish in tone.
sacar a relucir los trapos sucios delante de otros
wash + dirty linen in front of others
'I've always felt that professionals should stick together and not wash their dirty linen in front of others - particularly strangers'.
sacar a relucir los trapos sucios en público
air + dirty linen in public
The library's overall image is enhanced more by a tactful handling of an in-house problem without airing the dirty linen in public.
tira de trapo
cloth strip
It was decided to apply stamped cloth strips, produced by a commercial library bindery to the spines and to use a polyvinyl acetate for adherence.
trapo de algodón
cotton cloth
Use a clean cotton cloth to wipe off the water and any remaining paint.
trapo del polvo
dust cloth
duster
dust rag
The best cleaning solution in these cases is to use a dust cloth, and compressed air can such as those sold at electronics stores.
Someone who knows will probably strip and clean but I don't know how so it has had a rub with a duster.
Use a dry paper towel or dust rag to wipe down the ceiling, paying special attention to the corners.
trapos de algodón [Material que se utiliza como materia prima para hacer el papel de trapo de algodón]
cotton rags
The early paper-making machines were dependent, as the hand vats had been, upon linen and (when they became available) cotton rags as their chief source of raw material.
tratar como un trapo
walk all over + Alguien
run + roughshod over
ride + roughshod over
By always looking at people in the eye and keeping your head held high you'll start giving them the vibe that you are not to be walked all over .
Most troublingly, the Court has run roughshod over important legal precedents, not just in its ruling in January but in many other decisions.
A good life for you maybe but not for the people you rode roughshot over.
