stain removal
Help please! I made a quilt a year or so ago and after the washing of it I noticed on the back(white backing)there is a small faint yellowish stain of some sort ....almost looks like pickle juice stain. it's not very noticeable you really have to look to see if but I know it's there and if your like Iam it's gonna bother you til you find a way to remove it. Any suggestions? I don't want to use a bleachy liquid on it as Iam afraid it might take the colors out of the pattern on the front. I hope someone has a suggestion as to what I can try.

I've used Grandma's" and it is good, but my favorite stain remover of all time is Zout. You can get it most anywhere. The first time I tried it, I successfully removed old, many times laundered and dried-in stains on clothes which had previously not been removed by a myriad of other stain remover products. I was amazed!

I agree with "Justa bit crazy". I use Zout for just about everything and IT WORKS, even
on stains that you might think that would never be removed.
I also use Oxy Clean too, but Zout is my favorite.

I agree trying Zout on it. I think Zout is sold at Walmart now as well as grocery stores. If you're not satisfied with Zout, I would try http://www.retroclean.com

I have used Grandma's and my only problem with it is you can't soak in it, it has to be applied to each spot. I works great, even on stains that have been washed and dried many times. I got something at the LQS to soak some vintage lace (gray and yellow because it was so old) and it turned out very white. Only trouble is I can't remember what it's name was. Got it at the LQS also. I guess I'm not much help, sorry.

I got something (never did figure out what) on a white area of a customer's quilt....little black spots. I made a strong solution of oxyclean and dabbed it on the spots. Did that twice and they were gone. The quilt was still on the frame when I did this. It works. I may need to look for this Zout...I've never heard of it!
