Help with stains

[Karen-tx]

I have a dress that my grandmother crocheted for my mother when she was little. My mother is 84 now and I would like for my 1 year old granddaughter to have her picture made wearing the dress. 

The dress has quite a few stains on it and I need to know what soap to use to try and get them out  I know that I will need to be gentle and hand wash. 

Thank you,

Karen

Soak in lukewarm water with dissolved Oxy-Clean and a little bit of Tide, then rinse thoroughly. Roll it in a terry towel and gently squeeze the towel to get the water out (never wring). Lay flat and shape/block on another towel to dry. This worked perfect on a doily my MIL made in the mid-1930's. It looks new now.
