What You’ll Need

  • Mild detergent
  • Soft bristled brush
  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar
  • Toothbrush
  • Clean cloth

Instructions for Cleaning Coffee and Tea Stains from Battenberg Lace

  1. Start by carefully dabbing the affected area with a clean cloth to soak up any excess liquid. Be careful not to rub fabric, as this may cause the stain to spread even further.
  2. Mix a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Dip a soft bristled brush into the mixture and gently scrub stained area. Rinse thoroughly after washing to remove any residue from the detergent.
  3. If the stain remains, make a paste out of baking soda and water. Apply it directly to the stained area and let it sit for 20 minutes. After it has had time to work, use soft bristled brush to scrub away the paste and any remaining stain.
  4. If the stain is still visible, mix together white vinegar and water in equal parts and use a toothbrush to apply the mixture to the stained area. Let it sit for 15 minutes then rinse the area with cold water.
  5. Once the area has been washed and dried, inspect the fabric to make sure the stain has been removed.

Tips for Maintaining and Caring for Your Battenberg Lace
