<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 301993, member: 23&quot;]I have tons of what I call &quot;soft&quot; antiques from my mother and aunts.&nbsp; Afraid I have them all over the house, much to spartan hubby&#039;s dismay.&nbsp; Tough.&nbsp; I have to live with his 24/7 sports TV, he has to live with my doilys and anti-macassars.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I use powdered Oxy-Clean, but not too much.&nbsp; Warm - not too hot -water soak, rinse, repeat as many times as necessary.&nbsp; The crocheted, tatted, embroidered parts will be more delicate than the base linen.&nbsp; If you can put out in the sun, that&#039;s the best because it will help bleach.&nbsp; My mother swore by washing our sheets and towels and drying them outside all year long.&nbsp; They&#039;d come in stiff as a board in the winter and she&#039;d put them on wooden drying racks in the kitchen and the smell was better than the most expensive perfume.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
