Subject: Removing stains from textiles
I am looking for someone who is experienced in stain removal from robust fabrics. This is not a conservation treatment. An excellent craftsperson uses 1950's tablecloths in quilt-making (she doesn't cut them up, however!) and would like to be able to send stained ones to someone who has had success with a variety of bleaches, including the newly available oxygen ones. She would rather use someone who already knows how to do this than learn to do it herself, and is willing to pay reasonable prices.
