I've had much success soaking stained linens in Oxy-clean. I had a pair of pillowcases made by my great aunt; they're at least 40 years old, if not 50. They were yellowed from being used (hair oil, etc). It took about a week, but the Oxy-clean removed every trace of the yellow and I can now use these pillowcases happily. I also had a comforter that was bloodstained (injured pet). Worked well again.

@Pam – Thanks for the tip. It's certainly worth a try!

You might try that new Oxi-Clean gel stick. I decided to try it because I seem to always have grease stains, and my 19-year-old son is really hard on his clothes. It's gotten out old stains that have been washed and dried multiple times! I'm not usually brand-loyal, but I'll definitely get this stuff again. (When it's time. It has actually lasted a good while.)

@Maureen – I'm the exact same way, which is why I'm so conscious of keeping a clean environment for our guests.

I wish all owners were like you, if I were to see a stain on my bedding I would spend all night awake wondering what had caused it. I have even been known to take my own bedding on holiday with me just in case. ( obviously that is if we drive to where we are staying. )
