Help to rescue my moses basket drapes

Options
Hi,

This is the first time i have posted here and i'm hoping someone maybe able to help. I have the most beautiful moses basket which was purchased by my parents I kept it stored in its box and wrappings in my built in cupboard.

I took it out today as the nursery is now done and only 4 weeks left before baby arrives :j. To my horror it has sweated in the wrapping and either damp marks or the colour from the wicker has dyed it. I immediately put it in the wash and it has lightened the marks but they are still there. The colour is cream. I have looked online for replacement drapes but the basket is massive and purchased from germany and I cant find anything like it.

Any advise would be so very welcome what can I do without completely destroying it.

    Wash it again? Soak it before doing so in something gentle and non-bio (thats right for babies isn't it?) Good luck, sounds beautiful.
