I still use Woolite and Dreft, but my pieces are not museum quality and just sentimental.
Soak them in a bucket with water and Oxi Clean overnight. Next rinse them. Then put them in a pillow case and launder them on the delicate cycle with mild detergent. Hang to dry.
Soak in warm water with Woolite. Lay flat to dry.
