How to Remove Yellow Spots on Vintage Fabrics
- 1). Pour a drop of liquid laundry detergent, about the size of a quarter, on the yellow spot and rub it in gently. If the spot is large, add more drops as needed. Pour the remaining detergent from the cap in the washbasin.
- 2). Pour warm water in the wash basin and add the borax. Submerge the vintage fabric in the soapy water, and allow it to soak for 30 minutes.
- 3). Wash the fabric by rubbing it against itself. Rinse out the soapy water with cold water until the water runs clear. Check to see if the spots are gone. If they are still there, repeat the soaking in detergent and borax water. Scrub the fabric again and rinse. Stains that do not come out by the second time are likely to be permanent.
- 4). Pour 1/2 cap of liquid laundry detergent into the washbasin and fill the basin with cold water. Submerge the fabric and let it soak for 30 minutes. Wring the excess water out of the fabric by hand and hang it to air dry.
