Carrickmacross lace is a unique form of embroidery that originated in Ireland in the 19th century. It’s an intricate fabric often used to make wedding dresses, tablecloths, curtains, and other garments. Although delicate, the beauty of Carrickmacross lace is its durability. However, it is still vulnerable to stains, like blood.
The most effective way to remove blood stains from delicate Carrickmacross lace is with a mixture of cool water and a few drops of mild detergent. Apply the solution directly to the stain, gently dabbing at it with a clean, white cloth until the stain has been removed. Then, rinse the area with cold water and lay lace flat to dry.
To prevent blood stains from occurring in the first place, start by protecting your lace fabric. When wearing or using Carrickmacross lace, always use a special protective covering, such as a bodice or tablecloth protector. This will help protect lace from contact with any sharp items or even sweat.
You can also spot treat areas where you suspect the potential for staining. Before wearing or using the lace, apply a stain remover, such as a pre-treatment spray. This will help protect the lace from any tough stains in the event of spills or accidents.
