The treatment helps the yellow out laundry. Wash gently by hand to your project with a mild detergent and a few tablespoons of Borax, Arm and Hammer or white wine vinegar. Soak 10 to 15 minutes to dry Rinse, leave and press gently with an iron on low heat. Achieve the best results, use an ironing pad face down on the project and a press cloth between it and iron. You can buy a bag of hangers, a craft store or stores most tissues. This prevents the flattening of the border, if you for the hot iron. I have the laundry treatment of white cotton shirts, which was after a few washings and wear parts, which have been fairly well with the aim to yellow.
Soaking in warm water with Woolite or zero. Add 3-percent solution of hydrogen peroxide to bleach clothes. It will not harm the seam. I'm usually in the kitchen sink. If you feel clean, go ahead and drain the sink and slowly fill with fresh hot water without soap. Continue until the water is finally clear. Place the document in a towel. Roll out lightly press a little water. Then I put on a clean towel to dry in air. Enter a bowl then cover with a cloth, soft tissue and gently til its flat steel. Place the iron directly on your model.
