  • 1.  Safely Removing Moths

    Posted an hour ago

    Hi All!

    It's my turn to reach out with a conservation question! The below question was posted on the AIHA's forum. I'm happy to pass along any recommendations if you'd rather not contact David directly 😁

    I have an antique chair that was recently "re-covered" with a needlepoint medalion and background.  Seems there are moths in the stuffing.

    How can we safety get rid of the bugs?  

    Given all the discussion of fabric preservation within our association I am hoping that someone knows what is being done these days. 

    Thx

    David Abrams, CIH
