My dh's been on Effexor since the summer of 2000.. His doctor told him he'd never NOT take antidepressants.. I keep a close eye on his pill bottle just to make sure he is taking them every day.. He still struggles with some things but rarely talks to me about it..
Another thing you can use for wool and other natural fibers is Tail and Mane Shampoo... I use it all the time on my silk blouses.. Like you say, wool and angora are really just hairs.....
I guess for me there is a very very fine line between patriotic and being a zealot also....
I am sure there where Germans, Nazis in particular, and Italians who firmly believed that they where patriotic during WW2.
Ok ok i know that's a really controversial thing to say but it is true, imho..
Let me know if it works out... Of course your purse is leather and most old sewing machine cases are fabric and cardboard.. But have you ever smell old newsprint? Yeck... Some of the stuff that's stored away in my parents basment, the news papers smells worse than the stuff that's wrapped in...
Hmmm, i was told by a textile conservator to never store fabrics directly in contact with cedar.. So she suggested that you put the item or items into cotton bags or folded cloth and then put it in the chest...
Cedar is a very very acidic wood and will eat away at natrual fibers...
That is...
Strangely enough a crunched up newspaper will take mildew smells away..
Put some paper inside the purse and put the whole thing in a plastic bag..
Not sure for how long tho but the paper will take the smell up..
I have several friends who has done this with stinky old, Featherweight sewing...
