I bought 30 white tablecloths for my daughter's wedding. Now that the event is over, I would like to store the tablecloths for later (she has a twin sister). The tablecloths have some barbeque sauce stains and stains from red candles. How can I remove these stains?

Fill your washer up with hot water and I think I'd probably use a whole thing of oxy clean and let them soak a day or maybe more. The candle wax will probably require the method of a warm iron with a brown paper bag to soak up most of the wax before laundering.I believe that will probably work but if not soak them for a day or so in Cascade dishwashing powder and clorox 2 powder.JUST CURIOUS--what in the WORLD are you gonna do with 30 white tablecloths?? I believe I'd get them good and clean and sell them to some Caterer and get some of my money back. I'm sure that must have been a HUGE expense.Hope I've been SOME help.
Thanks for the information! As far as buying the tablecloths...... I checked into renting tablecloths, and found it would cost $5 a tablecloth. Then I ran across some commercial quality white tablecloths at Sam's, for $5.50 each (they were in a package of 3 for apr. $17) Because I have another daughter, and I also had 2 friends who had daughters getting married within the next month, I figured I would spend the extra and just buy them.
Peroxide works GREAT on white material, I use it all the time, pre-soak the spots with it and then just wash aa usual.
If you are a quilter you could back some quilts with them. That way the quilt has special memories. I second the peroxide. Good luck
