Subject: [Baren 16671] Sooty paper boundary

Dear Baren friends

While digging out from the fire, I discovered in the bottom drawer of a 
metal file cabinet some prints . Some were not salvageable, but at the 
bottom were a few that did not have any smudge on them. The smell of 
soot is soooo strong . Does anyone know of anything that will take the 
smell away.=20
I brought one print in the house and had to take it out immediately it 
smelled up the house so badly.

Hi Jeanne,

   I have done some fire recovery restorations in the past. The industry
standard method for smoke smell removal in objects is to treat them in
an ozone chamber. You can contact someone there (look in the yellow
pages under "fire and water restoration") to do it for you (should be
covered by insurance), or you can rent an ozone generation (from a tool
rental place) and hook it to a cardboard box with the prints inside. If
you do it yourself, do it somewhere outside, ozone will make you woozy.

Hope I could be of help, Jack Reisland

Jeanne,
Ask on the prints-L list, someone will know as there are lots of museum
people there. I think something citrus would help. I know there are
treated sponges they use to clean up after a fire (dry) that you might
get and it helps take the smell out. Fresh air is also good. I know they
use activated charcoal for mustiness, maybe you will have to "wash"
them, but wait for the correct advice from a museum concervator. Call
you local University or museum and see if they have a conservationist.
Sorry I don't know the  answer.
Barbara
