Welcome to the board but my sympathies on the damage to your wonderful treasure.
I concur on the OxyClean idea and soaking for a while. Also, if there are still stains after that, try blotting with a cloth dipped in lemon juice and setting out in the sun. Not on the prints but every where else it would work as a bleaching agent but without the fiber destroying aspects of peroxide or chlorine. |
Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D
So sorry that this happened! |

OMG - how horrid.
I have nothing to add but prayers. Hopefully one of the suggestions given will work. Please, please follow up and let us know how you make out. |
Thank you all for the advice and kind words. As soon as it stops raining here I am going to try some of your suggestions. I will keep you all posted on the progress.

I have also done blankets this way filling the washer with cold water and 1 cut of bleach before I put in the blankets. Don't have pictures but the mildew came out and did not fade any of the color in the blanket.
Hope this helps, sorry for your lose This solution works but be sure to run your water with the bleach in until the machine is full and has agitated a time or two. I do this with stubbon colors all the time, |
