Vintage Linen Soak


If you have vintage linens that have yellowed with age, you may find this recipe helpful.

In a large roaster or pot, fill with hot water and several slices of lemon. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and add your linens. Use a wooden spoon to push down the linens until they become completely submerged and saturated with the water. Cover the pot and leave overnight.

Rinse well, wash with mild detergent and water as usual and then lay the items out in the sun to dry.
