How to Care for Old Quilts


How to care for old quilts:

  • Never put in sunlight because it will fade.
    Never store in plastic - store in old pillow cases.
    You can hand wash in the bathtub (you will see yellowish water). This is good, it means old acid is reacting with the dyes.
    Use non perfumed soap to clean.
    Rinse 5 times or so to get residue out lay flat to dry.
