Is it safe to use Vikane on objects that contain wool and leather (specifically chaps and saddles)? Are there specific temperature requirements in using it (like temp must stay above 45, etc.)? Is it necessary for staff to wear HEPA masks or take any special precautions when handling objects after they have been treated with Vikane? Thanks for your help!
