So I was at my moms house cleaning out her basement. In a box I found my dad's WWII crackerjack uniform. It needs to be cleaned but I'm leery about sending it to a cleaners to have it done. Does anyone have any contacts or suggestions on getting it cleaned? Its in pretty good shape for being 74 years old. My goal is to get it mounted in a large shadow box with his awards.

Find a pro, perhaps even the companies that preserve wedding dresses.
