Thank goodness the stain came out. My very first quilt was for my daughter in high school. She had a beautiful cat that lived to be very old. She used that beautiful quilt as her litter box!!!! I didn't know what to do, washed it normally and that didn't do a thing. So I sent it to the dry cleaners. I never removed it from the plastic package and a few years later I dug it out to show a friend. Oh my. How embarrassing!!! The smell almost made us pass out!! I soaked it in my washing machine tub with Oxy Clean, rinsed it out then did it again. This was my last resort before throwing it out. WELL - - it worked beautifully. I rescued it and I'm so happy. Oxy Clean is my best friend.
