Cleaning fabric is nothing to be afraid to tackle!
First, let's assume that without removing the stain or dirt, the article will have little if any value. Almost all fabric that has been used should start treatment with a bit of stain removal product on any stains on the fabric. Then dissolve a small amount of a WATER SOFTENER (like Calgon) in a dish pan or bucket of lukewarm water... place the article that you want to treat in that container and using the palms of your hands or a small plunger. Submerge piece. Let soak 15 minutes to 24 hours giving it a "swish" every 15 minutes to 4-5 hours...
By doing this you are removing all the old soap, starch, dirt and other residue left in the fabric over the years.. Now it is time to let running water flow over the piece rinsing all the dirt out. If the stain is still in the fabric...
