Step 1: Brush Off the Excess Sauce

The first step to removing barbecue sauce from cornelli lace is to remove any excess sauce with a soft brush. Gently brush over the affected area with a soft bristled brush or toothbrush until you have removed as much sauce as possible.

Step 2: Blot the Area

Once the excess sauce is removed, use a clean white cloth or paper towel to blot the area. This will help to absorb the remaining sauce from fabric. Be sure to use a light touch, and avoid rubbing as this may cause the stain to spread.

Step 3: Pre-Treat the Stain

To pre-treat the stain, mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water and apply it to the stained area. Allow the mixture to sit on the stain for several minutes before gently scrubbing using a clean cloth or brush. Rinse the area with cold water.

Step 4: Soak the Fabric

After pre-treating the stain, fill a bucket or sink with warm water and add a few drops of laundry detergent. Submerge the stained area of the fabric in the soapy solution and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes. Do not wring out the fabric as this may cause stain to spread further.

Step 5: Rinse and Air Dry

After soaking, rinse fabric in cold water to remove the detergent and then lay it flat to air dry. Do not dry the fabric in the dryer as this will set the stain and make it more difficult to remove. Once the fabric is dry, check to see if the stain is gone. If not, repeat the pre-treatment and soaking steps and check again.
