I will give this a try also if the fresh doesn't help.
I would never have thought to wash anything in buttermilk.. how interesting! Thanks for the tips
I have heard of using vinegar or dawn - just soak in vinegar for awhile then hand rinse and lay flat - if you have a screen or one of those seater dryers you could put outside to dry. good luck
