[QUOTE="ascot, post: 74220, member: 96"]Somehow DH and I became the keepers of many items that belonged to our parents. Now that we're getting older, I'm trying to clean out some of them. I have my MIL's trousseau items. She was married in 1940. Overall, they're in good condition because she wrapped them in fabric and stored them in a closet. However, some of the items have little orange-y specks on them. I'm posting the bloomers that went with a lovely nightgown. They appear to have been custom made. The fabric is silky. I'm not sure if they're satin or maybe silk charmeuse? The lace is exquisite. Is there a way to safely clean these items? Any help is appreciated!
