I don't bring anything like that from garage sales into the house until it has been washed thoroughly. Leave it in the garage, bring it inside a few items at a time directly into the washing machine (or in the case of quilt tops or old quilts, into the jacuzzi tub.) the jacuzzi works great on quilts. Fill it up, add quilt, "aggitate" for a few minutes, add woolite or quilt cleaner, and let soak for an hour. Drain, fill, aggitate, repeat until all the soap/cleaner is gone. Works great.
