Directions & Tips

Before using Sharon’s Solution, pre-soak all items in cool soapy water to loosen the fabric and to remove any surface dirt.

In a plastic basin or plastic bucket (not the bath tub and not the washing machine) dissolve 6 tablespoons of Sharon's Solution in 1 gallon of hot water. When the water is cool, soak item until stains are COMPLETELY removed. Difficult stains may need several days to a week of soaking. For whites, you may double or triple the solution strength. The used solution may be used again to soak another item..

The strength of the solution can be adjusted depending on the stain or the size of your item. For small items, reduce the recipe by half. When soaking white undershirts or dress shirts with yellow deodorant stains, double or triple the solution strength.

If you have a large tablecloth with one stain, don't soak the entire tablecloth, just soak the stain. Once the stain is removed, make a fresh batch of Sharon's Solution and soak the entire tablecloth for uniform brightness.

Please note that Sharon’s Solution is a bleaching agent that is color safe when diluted. Always do a spot check on a small area to make sure colors do not run. Once the stain has been COMPLETELY removed, always rinse your items until the water is "clear enough to drink," as we say in the south. You may also put your item in the washing machine and use your rinse cycle.

Once your items are clean, always store collectible linens wrapped in acid free tissue paper and in an acid free box. Do NOT store in plastic wrap or newspaper.

Store Sharon's Solution in a cool, dry area away from the heat.

This product is safe for linen, cotton, polycotton blends, and washable silk such as damask and some satins. It is not recommended for dry clean only silk or wool.
