It's been a long time since I did it, but it seems like the cottons only took about an hour. The tablecloth got several repeated treatments for probably 8-10 hours total. I would recommend trying a small spot treatment, maybe on an edge where you can easily rinse it after about 30 minutes. You can always repeat the treatment until you are happy with the results. My MIL said she had soaked years of dry cleaning fluid and nicotine out of drapes and other items by soaking them overnight in the bathtub, then rinsing them the same way. Her MIL liked to dry clean everything and the chemicals really build up on the fabrics.
