Tapestries are nothing more than fabric pictures. They are made with pictures artistically interwoven or hand knotted using colored yarns or threads in flat or pile weaves.
Similarly, fabric wall hangings have become quite popular, especially when used as decoration or wall art in commercial buildings.
Because tapestries and other fabrics are hanging in elevated positions, they may be well above the heat line in a fire-damaged structure, and they may be subject to heavy smoke and heat damage. Of course, this may severely impact your ability to achieve satisfactory cleaning. To compound the problem, these items may be somewhat delicate due to their construction or age. Clean them with extreme caution to avoid fiber or fabric distortion, dye bleeding or simply disintegration.
