Antique linens are lovely and something to be treasured. Many times these treasures have yellowed and lost the beauty they once had. A simple washing doesn't remove it but what will?
Tipnut has an interesting article with several different recipes that should help
remove that yellow stain.
Some of the recipes seem more
natural and may be nicer to the fabric than others will. I have not tried any of these recipes so I can make no claim as to what will work best and be the gentlest for cleaning your linens.
One recipe calls for a large amount of
salt which sounds a little harsh but it may work great. If you have any tried and true linen whitening ideas leave me a comment and let me know.
