Help me? Old Irish linen tablecloth is discoloured!

[RoboticMary]

Morning everyone! Any suggestions or recommendations for me? My great-grandmother embroidered an Irish linen tablecloth back in the 1940’s. It’s a beautiful piece but the fabric is steadily getting browner as the years go by. Now it just looks dirty if I put it on the table! Any idea how I could restore the fabric without damaging the embroidery?

I usually go straight to the bleach but I don’t really want to do that in case it goes wrong

Take it to a dry cleaners?

Wrong time of year but sunlight is wonderful.
Might fade the embroidery though.

Miltons sterilizing fluid?

Thanks everyone Will try the sterilising fluid first... if that doesn’t work I’ll be off to the dry cleaners. Didn’t think of doing that!

Biotex - should be good for the linen, but might have an effect on the colour of the embroidery (as might Miltons).
