Need of help in removing odor from wool.
My father found his old tam and gave it to me this past weekend. I am very happy to receive it, but there is one problem with it. It smells of smoke, and very badly. Both my parents smoke, and until recently, began going outside to do so. On top of that, it has been stuck in a drawer for so many years that it is going to smell musty anyways. It needs to be cleaned. So, I need help. I do not know how to clean wool.
Do I have to send this to a dry cleaners? Can I do it at home? I don't want to ruin this tam as it is almost as old as I am, and was a wonderful gift. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys!
