If you have old textiles that you're determined to wash do it in the bathtub not the washer!! The agitation in a modern washer can turn old textiles into shreds! Even just spinning could rip some textiles depending on how delicate their condition is. Line the bathtub with a sheet and gently squeeze the water thru your textiles. Do not wring or twist! After you have rinsed extremely well you use the sheet to lift the textiles out of the tub.
There is a special product made for washing old textiles. I think it's called something like Antique Textile Wash.
