I gave the recipe to a gal who had a quilt that had cat spray stains and it worked miracles when she used it.

Maryon’s Secret Elixir for Stains

1 Part Clorox 2 Powder

1 Part Dove Dishwashing Liquid but has been sold to Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid(Use the creamy white version only according to the rep at the company)

(example--2 tsp. each for one small item or 1/4cup each or more in a tub for a large piece like a quilt, You may need to experiment)

Mix together in the hottest water the textile can stand. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

I used a small basin to soak a baby receiving blanket that had formula stains on it and it came out clean.

Good luck in saving your textiles.

Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to try it! :thumbup:
