(I realise this is posted to an odd mix of groups but I'm hoping to
find some knowledgeable folks somewhere in the mix)

	I recently had a number of old silk kimono and haori presented
to me in pretty sad condition (not needing repair, but grungy, smelly
and wrinkled). Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning them
(other than dry cleaners) ?  If dry cleaning is the only possible way,
are there any special instructions I should give the cleaners ?
