Text of Note

This paper addresses the research done before the treatment of a printed cotton upholstery fabric designed by Liberty & Co. The striking polychrome print is a bird and vine pattern that has been marred by extensive staining and had an overwhelming feline urine odor. The goal of the treatment was to reduce both of these. The treatment of urine staining has scarcely been published in conservation literature. Thus, research and testing were required before treatment could proceed. Following a literature review, this paper examines industrial solutions to pet urine staining, focusing on the use of enzymes in conservation and dry cleaning literature. Sample cotton fabrics were stained with cat urine. Trypsin IX, Savinase, and Urease III were tested on the stained samples, which were then put through an accelerated aging process. The paper describes the testing procedures and evaluates the results.
