The embroidery could present a problem, as could light weight gauzy material.
Try the mixture a few times on old dust rags first (around here we call them 
old t-shirts ) to see what it does.  You might wish to omit the bleach at 
first, then try a second batch with 1/4 cup bleach, et cet.
We use the mixture from time to time on the few vestments which we have which 
can be machine washed.  It works.  The vestments which can not be machine 
washed, get dry cleaned every few years.  A very costly endeavor.

I'ed better not pursue that portion of this thread.
