Name of Product to restore vintage quilt
I've seen the name of a product used to remove brown age stains from vintage fabric but I can't remember the name. I think it was Restore or Resolve or something similar. I need to try and remove some stains from some vintage fabric. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

I have bought and tried Orvus quilt soap from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Works pretty good. Here is their description:
Founded by Proctor & Gamble Company in 1932, Orvus' secret formula has not changed in 85 years. Oruvs has been trusted by the world's most prestigious museum curators to clean and preserve prized quilts, historical fabrics and tapestries. Orvus is 100% phosphate free, dye free, PH neutral, biodegradable and fragrance free. 1 oz sachet package is ideal for a singe standard sized machine wash load or for washing a bed sized quilt. Recommended by the American Quilter's Society for cleaning quilts!
Great for delicate fabrics, quilting cotton, fine linens, wool, fleece, needlework, heirlooms, crochet and everyday fabrics.

Restoration. Understand it is available from Amazon. I haven’t used but saw the results.
It was added to water in the bathtub, soaked the quilt, sloshed about, changed waster and repeated. The water was dark brown and stinky. The results were astounding.
