Removing yellow stains from old tablecloths

If they were white, soak in water with some lemon juice added and hang out in the sun.

Try using oxiclean. Mix a strong solution. Don't use bleach it will eat the fabric

Soak in a strong solution of oxy clean overnight. Rinse well and hang to dry in the sun if you can. If you must use your dryer, you may have to repeat soaking a second time. Do not ever use bleach or strong acidic concoctions (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on vintage linens. Good luck!

try Fels Naptha soap.

Years ago I used Woolite and soaked my tablecloth overnight. Then I washed it on the gentle cycle in my washing machine (again using Woolite) After, I hung it outside in the sun to dry. It worked for me. I never tried it, but soaking in Oxyclean is supposed to work well.

Try soaking in warm water and Oxi Clean.

Peroxide

Donna, have you tried soaking it over night in a solution of Oxyclean and water? That usually does it for me. Good luck.

You could try putting baking soda over the yellow spots then pouring/spraying vinegar on it, scrub a little if yore able to and wash (let stand for 5-15 mins)

I had the same thing with curtains. All stained yellow with age. Oxiclean! Put them in your tub or whatever and dump in some powered OxiClean. OH!!!! Cold water is best if delicate and toss in the Oxi while the water is filling. It disperses evenly that way.

Instead of buying Oxyclean, a peroxide dry bleach product, go to the Dollar Tree and get their product, it does the same for a lot less money An overnight soak should do it, at least 8 hours, .The chlorine in the regular bleach will weaken the fabric of your table cloths.

Zout not Shout, will take out the stains. You can still purchase this in Walmart.
