Sigh....... It's happened again. I got a new "sewing room" just over 2 years ago because we had a leak in the water line that runs above my family room, where I sew. It is leaking again. Not near as bad as when we had to re-do the entire room, floors, ceiling everything.
Question I have is many yards of fabric that got wet. these fabrics were in my new cabinets built since the original "flood" Can I just throw them into the dryer or do I need to wash them all. The hot water is currently shut off to the house because we just discovered this and called a plumber about 20 min ago, caught his answer machine.
What would you do??????
Fortunately this only affect about 60 yards of fabrics and not the thousands stored in these cabinets.
The cabinets are sealed, I think there is water between the ceiling and the top cabinet and it dripped through. I think it may be between the top and middle cabinet as well cause it was a little wet along the seam. These cabinets are installed onto the wall.
Suggestions??????
