HEIRLOOM SOAK - Brightens Vintage Linens

HEIRLOOM SOAK removes age spots and brightens vintage linens made from natural fibers. It is not a soap or a bleach, but a non-toxic substance, which, when dissolved in water as directed, is used to soak natural linen fibers.

Its easy directions are as follows: (1) hand wash item/s with mild soap and rinse, (2) mix 4 Tbsp of Soak per gallon of water, (3) soak 12 to 24 hours, (4) rinse throughly. (5) If desired results are not obtained, repeat steps 2, 3 & 4. (6) Wash item/s with a mild soap, rinse and dry.

With care your grandmother's white linens can finally be brightened giving new life to aged tablecloths, napkins, handkerchiefs, bedding, and christening gowns. Darkly dyed fibers must be tested for colorfastness before using. Personally, I have used this soak extensively and have had great success with this product. I hope you will try it, or purchase it as a gift for a friend.

Heirloom is sold in 1 pound bags for $10.00, plus shipping cost. All sales are final. Thank you and enjoy!

It is made of solid mahogany with some mahogany veneer over oak. The bed measures overall 57" across by 83" long with a 56.5" tall headboard and a 45.5" tall footboard. The mattress is supported with wood brackets attached to the side running boards. The bed is in excellent condition, and would make a beautiful additon to anyone's home. The price is $3200.
