4DSC - Thanks for the advice. I've checked my laundry and I do have a bottle of "Woolmix for Delicates " (with eucalyptus fragrance!). The instructions say it can be used in cold water for washing delicates like silk, wool, chenille,.... and can be diluted for spot cleaning. I'll give this a go and do some spot testing initially.
Sci-Fi - great website. If the above does'nt work out, I know now there's a Melbourne supplier. As well as the Woolite, there's some other goodies. Down the track, I'll definitely use this site and bring a bit of Americana to my home .
Thanks again mates.
