Review: Your Complete Textile Care Routine

You open a storage box and notice a musty odor, one textile feels brittle at the edges, and another has small brown spots. Name three correct first-response actions — one for odor, one for brittleness, and one for the spots.

Odor: remove the textile immediately to fresh air, check for mold, and do not seal it back until the source is identified. Brittleness: handle with extreme care, avoid folding or stress, and consult a conservator before any cleaning attempt. Brown spots: do not wet the area; isolate the piece and have the spots professionally assessed, as they may indicate mold, insect acid damage, or oxidation requiring specific treatment.
