I have bought some older hand embroidered pillowcases. Some have the age yellow like from body oils I suppose. How do I safely get the yellow out without ruining the embroidery work?

I have never been able to get it out. I am interested in what others have to say.

Soak in all fabric bleach (non-chlorine) - for 2 to 3 days.
|
Non chlorine bleach will not eat the fabric like the bleach will?
|
YEP.... I use only POWDERED oxyclean.. the spray stuff doesn't works as well to me... and I let it soak minium of over night..... if not several days
|
There is also a product I order off Ebay called
Linen Wash..a fine specialty cleanser. Has worked really well. |
Oxyclean works for me too.
|
Ok I will give Oxyclean a try on one of the less important ones first. Thanks.

I would use RetroClean: http://www.retroclean.com
