We kept jars in the refrige with our salvia and other peoples who "saved" it for us. We would place an one inch square with the salvia and wait five minutes before "washing" it off. It worked like magic on removing 100 years of smoke from incense and fire damage. There were 10 paintings. It took us several months to finish but the difference was incredible.
