<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 137304, member: 78&quot;]Hi Milt,</p><p>&nbsp; You are the processional, I was dumb and learned the hard way. When we rented the darn machines, they told us nothing, no paper work no warning or anything. We just set them up in the rooms and turned them on. After a few days the two ladies got sick and I did not. I looked up the machines on line and almost had a heart attack. They did an incredible job. We had thousands of books, linens, fancy vestments, curtains, rugs and choir robes. The smell was gone in a couple of days.</p><p>Some of the vestments had to cleaned since there was smoke damage as well as smell. We took them to a dry cleaning school in Manhattan where they were taken apart and cleaned and put back together. The best set was the gold set. 12 pieces including a floor length cope with a 12&quot; oval citrine clasp. The gold threaded pieces had hundreds of 1&quot; red circles depicting martyr&#039;s heads, names and how they died. It was sewn by a group of nuns taking two years to complete. It was lined with red silk which had ripped in sections over 100 yrs. The Met sent women over to discuss what we should do. It would cost us 30K just to have them replace the lining. We could not afford that so we had a few people just &quot;tack&quot; new lining to the old. Since the set of vestments were only used twice a year. I digress again, sorry.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
