Yellow Stains on Tablecloth

RE: Yellow Stains on Tablecloth Post By mary anne (Guest Post) (04/23/2008) Excellant results on vintage table linens using the powdered soap detergent for dishes and bleach. Actually I am living in Portugal and only have access to the powdered tablets for the dishwasher. Simply dissolved them in hot water with the bleach, then let the water cool down a bit, but still warm. I hand agitated the linens and rinsed them in warm water. Thanks for the advice. These napkins and tablecloths are very sheer.

I have even lightened if not removed old blood stains, it works beautifully.

If the article won't stand the hot water disolve the soap and bleach into the hot water and then let the mixture cool before adding your item. I use this mixture in the Washing machine on the lowest water level that your article can fit in then when you are done soaking ( about 30 minutes or less) you can run it through a regular wash. This works on baby clothes stains also Report Spam or Abuse
