I have a friend with a beach house in Rockport. I had made her a quilt several years ago, and it was one of the few
things her daughters were able to save from the house. The roof had landed on top of it (which was probably the
only way it was protected). The quilt had been wet and had a few stains on it, but my friend wanted to take it somewhere to "get it fixed". I told her since I made the quilt, I thought I'd be the best to "fix it", and I picked it up at her house today. The quilt was not in bad shape, the daughters had just rinsed it out, and let it dry. I brought it home, put it in the washing machine with Cheer and Oxi Clean, and a Color Catcher on warm and all the stains
came out really well. I had done the same thing with an antique quilt a few months ago, and it took all the stains
out perfectly. I was so surprised, as those stains had been in for years. So that is my go to solution for stains and
dirt on quilts -- I hope it helps.
