I am dealing with a number of garments that have been in a flood. Two
are from the 1930's and are viscose with numerous fabric covered
buttons. The iron in the button core has corroded staining the
covering fabric and the garments. I have been unable to find any
references regarding the reduction of iron corrosion on these types of
buttons. Any suggestions?
Thanks
