[QUOTE="birgittaw, post: 9508, member: 28"]Just reporting back after getting the tub of hydrogen peroxide out. Here's the result -- one cotton square, soaked in the HP and rubbed across one panel of what feels like a silky type fabric shade for a minute or two. Mine is not fragile, even though it has age, and is most likely rayon or similar -- it is tight on the frame. See the adjoining panels for what the center one looked like. Even with the unforgiving eye of the camera, not bad. Your results may vary depending on the fabric, but if nothing else, I can now salvage this one. And note that I use very heavy duty HP for cleaning ironstone, gloves required. Probably at least 50 or 60%. And it's not cheap (I get mine at the pool supplier by the gallon).
