Lemon juice and salt. This is what my mother always used. Put salt on the stains and then wet the salt with lemon juice and lay it in the sun. Add more lemon juice as it dries out. It takes an hour or so of good strong sunshine for it to work. Hope this works for you.

Here is my problem.
I recently moved to Germany (my husband is in the military).

The quilt means a lot to me, my grandmother (now deceased) made it for me when I was a teenager.
I need some advice on how to get the stains out. I have tried Arm and Hammer laundry soap and also Milton sterilizing solution. Some of the stains have lighted, but they are not gone.
Also, we have to file a damage claim against the moving company and I need to figure out how much the quilt would be worth. As I said before I am in Germany, so my options are limited to the internet or via telephone. To me the quilt is priceless and irreplaceable, but I have to come up with a monetary value. Any suggestions?
Thanks

That is still a very lovely quilt. This Butterfly pattern is from the 1930. I know one can't put a price on a piece of your heart, I think I would put down 4oo.oo
Another think my Granny swore by rubbing a slice of lemon into the spotsand air outside. Be careful as the sun will fade the darker colors. It seems the mold is on the back. Best of luck to you and your quilt. God Bless.
