help - yellowed material!
Re discovered my very first quilt top i made probably 15 years ago. I had it packed away and found it the other day. It was a very simple pattern and I used red, green and a off-white glittery material. Around the edges of the top the off white has yellowed took it to the laundromat and washed it ( the reds didn't run like i thought they might - yea!) but it still has the yellow. any ideas how to get rid of the yellowed part or it is beyond help. i thought of using a color safe bleach additive but am a little afraid. Would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

I use a combo of oxyclean & biz. Take 1 scoop(the oxyclean scoop) of biz and oxyclean for each gallon of water. Soak for a couple hours depending on the yellowing.
I used my washer - but I also don't have a front loader, so i can use lots of water. You could also use the bath tub. I spun it out when i wanted to see if i got the yellowing out. I will say that I didn't think I had gotten the yellowing out, but when I dried the quilt, it really was gone. Go figure!
