Dear Christopher Does it HAVE to be in NYC? Granted shorter travel distances reduce possibility of damage in transit. but with FedEX and UPS. we use Gentle Arts in New Orleans and ship it overnight to them. They are very good. Something to consider if you can't find one on the AIC for NYC. Ware L.W.S. Petznick, Ph.D. McFaddin-Ward House Curator of Collections 725 N.

I was hoping that someone from the list might be able to suggest any cleaners in the NYC area that would be able to handle this type of work or any experiences you have had with getting textiles cleaned. The items include silk dresses, cotton clothing and an army uniform. Any information you could offer would be very helpful.
