- I presume they are washable - use boraxo, yep, the old 20 mule-team stuff -
- they've just repackaged from a mint green to a darker green package - I have
- an old christening gown that had some yellow stains at the neck (also,
- 3 dainty blue flowers in a row - my great-aunt had tatted around the
- neckline and at the hem, then she took a white slip, cut it off about
- mid-length and tatted both pieces together) - I put both pieces in cold
- water and followed the directions on the boraxo box, let them soak, then
- dried them on the line - they came out as good as new
