VINTAGE WHITES stain removal suggestions

STAIN REMOVAL SUGGESTIONS

1 CUP CLOROX II (COLOR SAFE)
1 CUP BIZ
1 CUP CASCADE (DISHWASHING)

Fill washing machine with very hot water.
Add all 3 ingredients to hot water.
Let washer agitate to mix thoroughly.
Then add all materials to be soaked and agitate for only a couple of minutes.
I go back every few hours and let agitate again a couple of minutes just to mix ingredients to bubbles.
Let soak for 3-4 days or as needed.
If there is a hint of any stain left while material is wet. lay in grass in hot sun and mist on concentrate lemon juice.
HINT: oN Whites sometimes just the cascade is enough of a bleach or sometimes the lemon juice and hot sun will suffice.
If you are soaking only a few small items use only 1/3 of each and less water.
QUILTS: CAN BE DONE THE SAME WAY BUT PUT THEM IN THE BATHTUB SO AS TO NOT INJURE THE MATERIALS BY THE WASHER.
originally given to me by Saxton's Vintage Linens in Texas. It really works!!
