It was made in Europe. It has yellowed all over. How can I whiten this without damaging it? It was my daughter's, now she would like it for her daughter, too. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. Maggie :) I have a 38 year old baby dress, made of 100 % nylon. It was made in Europe. It has yellowed all over.

I used it on a coldwater creek jacket, winter white and very expensive. Took the stain right out and it's good as new. My theory, can't wear it like it is, "what do you have to lose?"

I live in Florida and have found that by simply storing "whites" in zip lock bags with the air squeezed out as much as possible has stopped the discoloration. If I did not take the time to do this I have found that taking a spray bottle and filling it with hydrogen peroxide (from the drug store) and spraying the discoloration makes it disappear almost immediately. I then launder as usual and it is good as new (I have had excellent results especially on my undergarments - really old stains/discoloration), that nothing else even attempted to remove the discoloration.
