Special Care for Vintage Garments - If you have a vintage baby item, whether it's a treasured family christening gown or a beautiful baby dress you found in an antiques shop, you'll have to take an extra-delicate approach. Before you do anything, try to determine whether the garment is strong enough to wash. If the fabric smells of must and mildew, it may not stand up to immersion in water. If you have any doubt that a garment can be washed safely, it's best to seek the help of a professional.
To wash a vintage garment, first place it on a piece of nylon net to support the delicate fibers, then soak it in cool water. Choose a mild soap. Professional laundries often use Orvus Paste; available at many sewing and art-supply stores, it has cleaning and whitening properties but is gentle on fabric. With very delicate fabrics, don't worry too much about small stains, but if the fabric is sturdy, you can try a soap that contains a color-safe bleach. This will help to lighten yellow age marks on fabric and brighten whites that haven't been laundered for decades. Just be sure to rinse very well to remove all traces of soap. Always let vintage clothing air dry rather than subject it to the heat of a dryer. - Martha Stewart.com
