I use a polident soak for stains on linen. Patty -----Original Message----- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of WorkroomButtons.com Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 3:09 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] vintage dress washing question
My daughter dropped chocolate on a handwoven antique linen tablecloth (don't ask). I soaked it in baby shampoo and Oxy-Clean, and machine washed VERY gently. Excellent results! Linen isn't cotton, but perhaps the same treatment would be effective (assuming, as Ann mentioned, it is strong enough to withstand getting wet).
