I have a good bit of rice sack fabric that was very dingy. I used the retro clean and it came out beautifully. I hand agitated it and rolled it in a towel before I laid it out to dry. Will post a picture when I get up tomorrow afternoon.

What I've used for old linens is Retro Clean. You definitely don't want to put them in the washing machine! I soak the items in the Retro Clean in water and agitate them a little with my hands. Then rinse them and lay them flat to dry. I've only done a few things, but that has worked well for me.

best way CLEAN/ Wash vintage Quilt Blocks

My grandmother left me 8 quilt blocks from the 1930s-1940s. They were hand pieced by my Great grandmother. I have treasured them for some years.
The blocks need to be cleaned. I finally want to put them together.
what is best soap/cleaner to use on these ? the best method to clean? I am thinking the wash machine may be too harsh for them.
Thanks do much, Janet G.
