I have old, yellowed, and stained dacron sails that came with my 1967 DS. I am looking for advice on cleaning them. Will standard detergents strip whatever resin may be left on the old dogs? Is a scrub brush, kiddie pool full of bleach detergent a good idea? What about a commercial tumble washer with "Ivory snow"?
Hey if I put them in a giant dryer, on HOT they might shrink back closer to their original shape! (or melt, I'll avoid that)
Any tips on Sail washing would be appreciated.
