I would have grabbed it up myself, then again you have restraint with all the neat things you see. <br /><br />I don't have your knowledge but I got some advice when I would buy old linens and napkins. To clean them, soak them in dishwasher liquid. Odd, but it worked I would do it in the sink or tub, depending on the size and then rinse and roll in towels. Air dry.

And it was on a gentle cycle. Totally frayed the hem. So I might suggest soaking it first in a laundry tub or bathtub to see how much comes out. Also you can use Borax which is for unbleachables.
