I have this old felt applique Christmas stocking. It is very old and has beads sewn onto it. The stocking has several different colors but the cuff of the stocking is white. The white cuff has yellowed with age. I was wondering if I could clean the stocking and get this yellowish stain off and how would be the best way to clean it. What worries me is that this stocking has a lot of red felt on it and I'm afraid it the red is going to bleed onto the white. Any suggestions on how to clean this would be appreciated.
Here's the thing, the stocking also has an angel on it. She has white wings and I can't take off her wings like I could the cuff. Besides, that looks like it would be very hard to do. I'm afraid to take it to a dry cleaner for fear the beads and sequins could be destroyed.
