Here is my problem.
I recently moved to Germany (my husband is in the military). When we got here I was horrified to find out that our movers not only used my quilt to wrap up a table, but it got wet and after 2 months of being in storage is now covered in mold stains. The quilt means a lot to me, my grandmother (now deceased) made it for me when I was a teenager.

I need some advice on how to get the stains out. I have tried Arm and Hammer laundry soap and also Milton sterilizing solution. Some of the stains have lighted, but they are not gone.

Also, we have to file a damage claim against the moving company and I need to figure out how much the quilt would be worth. As I said before I am in Germany, so my options are limited to the internet or via telephone. To me the quilt is priceless and irreplaceable, but I have to come up with a monetary value. Any suggestions?

Thanks
OMG this is awful..I am so sorry that the movers did this..Try Oxyclean..It did wonders for a wedding dress that had stains and yellow marks..Just soak it in a big plastic pool or tub and every once in awhile kind of swish it around and take some of the water out and add more water and oxyclean ...it says the hotter the water the better..
