Blogger Moms and Dads Unite!

Lindsey is expecting her first baby soon so she is going to be our “Resident Mom” here at The Laundress. She has been preparing for the baby by cleaning and prepping all hand-me-down pieces, washing new items, removing stains from family heirloom pieces, etc.

Lindsey will blog about her experiences and all the fun messes her bundle of joy brings, and help all the fellow mothers tackle all stains and cleaning dilemmas from formula to baby food.

Cleaning Antique/Heirloom Linens

Washing Antique Linens*
*this process is for cotton and linen only synthetic and silk may need different treatment.

Lindsey has been washing and treating lots of vintage linens from her family textiles.

They have been turning out amazingly well...see below how to treat textiles from tablecloths to christening gowns.

Before:

After:

-Prepare a bath of hot water with The Laundress Bleach Alternative. Add at least 2 capfuls depending on size of soaking basin.

-Apply Stain Solution directly on the stained areas - plunge textile into bath. Soak and sit for about 20 minutes. The first bath is the shortest as you will want to dump it out to remove the very dirty water and repeat with a clean bath.

-Repeat 1 or 2 more times until satisfied. Soaking longer each time is good too.

-Launder after with the appropriate detergent - Whites or Signature.
*we do not recommend using fabric softener or other products with the pieces.

*Do not starch if you are planning on storing again (a lot of the stains and damage you are removing is from the old starch.)

-Hang to dry, do not use the dryer.

-Press while damp.
