Retro Clean - Eco-Safe Vintage Fabric Washing Powder

$5 flat rate shipping within the US
Retro Clean is the gentle solution for safely removing yellow and brown age stains from all washable, vintage fabrics (laces, linens, quilts, tablecloth, clothing, aprons, etc). It removes stains related to water damage, mildew, coffee, tea, wine, blood, wood oil, tobacco, and perspiration. It will leave your fabric with renewed colour and vitality.
Photos referencing Carol's test on the same piece of vintage silk showing age with oxidation and spots. The result looks fantastic and we noticed 95% reduction of spots while the print design remains unaffected.
Manufacturer instructions:
Check item for colorfastness. Wash and rinse item to be treated. We recommend Retro Wash Laundry Powder.
After pre-washing, your item is ready to be soaked. Dissolve 3 to 4 tablespoons of Retro Clean granules in each gallon of warm water. Make enough solution to adequately immerse item. Soak up to 48 hours depending on the degree of staining. Soak in the sunshine, if possible (it helps keep the water warm), to speed up the process. Check and stir periodically. Make sure the item remains immersed. Item should be washed and rinsed after soaking. A tutorial of this process is available on our website.
