As I said to Jen, that's a remake. The ones I really object to are the *can you repair these before I send them to the cleaners? they have only been up for 15 years*
That sort of question prompts the answer, "If they've been up for 15 years, sun damage may well have weakened the fibres so they fall appart when cleaned. It's probably not worth your finding someone to do any work on them until after you've had them cleaned and find out whether they'll survive the process."
