Cleaning books from a smoke- and soot-damaged home
by Jessica Schmidt 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I'm hoping that someone out there has some advice we can pass along to a patron whose home caught fire recently. She has many books that were not damaged in the fire but do smell strongly of smoke, and the insurance company recommended that she have them cleaned using an ozone process. (I believe this is similar to how professional detailers remove smoke smells from cars.) The patron is looking to donate the books after they've been cleaned but wants to make sure that this process isn't dangerous for those who would receive the books. Has anyone used ozone to clean books-- or know of a better/safer alternative method? Thank you, Jessica Schmidt Youth & Teen Services Librarian | Chelsea District Library 221 S. Main St., Chelsea, MI 48118 (734) 475-8732 ext. 208 | jschmidt(a)chelseadistrictlibrary.org
