Cleaning chocolate stains from Teneriffe lace is an art and a science. The first step is to gently scrape off any excess chocolate, paying close attention not to disturb the lace or rub the stain too hard. You may also want to apply a small amount of liquid dish soap to the stain before scraping to make it easier to remove. If you don't have a stain remover, you could also try a vinegar and water solution, or even a gentle scrubbing with a toothbrush.
Once you have removed as much of the stain as possible, the next step is to soak the lace in cold water for about 20 minutes. This helps to remove additional residues that may have been left behind. If the stain persists, then you may need to turn to a commercial stain remover such as OxiClean, which is specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. Simply follow the instructions on the product and apply the solution directly to stain, allowing your lace to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Once you have cleaned the stain as best as you can, it's time to dry the lace. However, you must use caution here, as Teneriffe lace is quite delicate and heat can damage it. The best way to dry it is by laying the piece flat on a towel and absorbing as much moisture as possible. Then, allow it to dry naturally, either on a clothesline or drying rack.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily clean most chocolate stains from your Teneriffe lace and keep it looking beautiful for years to come. As always, if you have any doubts or questions about cleaning your lace, be sure to seek professional advice from a qualified laundry specialist.
