Same here :?
I ordered the retro clean and it should be here sometime this week. Depending on the weather I'll try it this weekend. The instructions say it's best to soak it for 2 days in the sun but it can be done inside. I recently bought a 20 to 30's quilt and it has some stains and yellowing. I'll take before and after pictures and let you know how it goes.
The retro clean was supposed to have been shipped yesterday so hopefully I'll be able to do it this weekend or the beginning of the week. Mine doesn't have rust stains but it's all hand pieced and hand quilted to it's threads are delicate but if it's cotten thread it should be ok; it looks like it is.
