<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 32180, member: 78&quot;]Hi moreotherstuff,</p><p>&nbsp; I spent three years overseeing the restoration of a historic church in Brooklyn that had a bad fire. The curtains were appoximately 75 years old when the fire happened. The were white with a lot of red trimming and got trampled into a pile when the windows smashed. I thought they were ruined so I decided it could not make them worse to try the washing</p><p>to clean them which it did but the red dye had run on a lot of it. Washed them again in cold water with bleach and it made them look better, not new but usable. the really valuable textiles were professionally done and covered by insurance, the other stuff was either cleaned or discarded. Thank goodness I had the help and advice from the conservationists of the Met in NY and a host of helping hands.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
