I use 2 teaspoons of Chloramine T per one cup water. Use warm water,  
stir in the Chloramine T. Get your document good and soaked in the  
wash tray, then pour off as much of the solution as you can. Let it  
air dry. If it is still stained, repeat the process. When it is  
sufficiently cleaned, soak the document in warm water for 10 minutes  
or so. Pour off and let air dry.

Good luck!
