The following companies carry supplies for cleaning and deodorizing
of fire damaged materials.  Please note that there has been some
debate about the use of chemical sponges on collection materials,
particularly special collections.

Non-woven fabrics such as Pellon and Reemay are available from most
archival suppliers (Gaylord 800-448-6160; University Products

can be ordered from archival suppliers or found at art supply
stores.
