I had a vintage quilt top given to me a few years back that was covered with what appeared to be blood stains and mouse urine stains. Of course they had been there for close to 80 years so I wasn't sure I could get them out. I went ahead and marked and hand quilted the quilt trying to stay true to the time period it had been made in. After it was all quilted and bound I filled my washing machine with warm water, no soap and lots and lots of Oxyclean. I then let it soak for two or three days with an occasional gentle swish. After rinsing it until it was clean I hung it on my deck railing in the sunshine to dry . Every single bit of gunk was gone and it is sparkling clean. No damage to the quilt or the fabric. I always recommend it for removing stains now!

I would try Dawn dish detergent plus every stain removal product in the grocery store then add regular clothes detergent and hope for the best, I guess!

We have good luck with Shout before laundering for getting stains out of clothes.

Sounds like Nancy has a good option!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874247466650224560.post-85749064518639620532017-07-06T17:39:26.298-06:002017-07-06T17:39:26.298-06:00You do such fine hand applique -- not a single sti...You do such fine hand applique -- not a single stitch shows! Amazing. <br /><br />I understand that raspberries do not leave a permanent stain so maybe a gentle wash will do? But if not, I've had great success using a product called Goop, available in the auto department of large stores and sometimes in the laundry section. It is like a cream that one rubs into dry fabric then, after letting it rest a bit of time, washes out. It seems really gentle on fabric. If you buy it, I recommend the tub, not the tube.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
