Yellowing baby clothes - remedy?

Hi there everyone. I am pregnant with my second child and I have just retrieved all the baby clothes I saved from my 1st (almost 3 years ago), only to find that some of them have yellow stains. I don't recall putting the clothes away like that although I can tell some of them must have been like that because the yellowing is around the neck. Anyhow. I have washed everything but the yellowing is still there. Does ayone know how I could safely remove them? Vanish hasn't worked. Many thanks everyone.

    First of all congratulations !

    I would suggesy washing again but drying in the sunshine so judging by the weather forecast for next week, wash by Sunday and hopefully the sun will remove the ` yellow ` bits. Good luck!

    If they're whites, you could try soaking in a mild solution of ACE, then rinse them *really* well and wash them again?

    I would definitely recommend hanging in the sun - this gets out almost all the stains that my two produce!
