Step 1: Pre-Soak the Fabric

Mix a solution of detergent and cold water in your sink or an appropriately sized basin. Allow the fabric to soak for 30 minutes in the mixture, stirring it around occasionally. This will help loosen the stain for easier removal.

Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover

After you have pre-soaked the fabric, apply a stain remover directly to the stain. Be sure to read the label carefully and follow all instructions on the packaging. Let the remover sit for at least 10 minutes, or longer if recommended.

Step 3: Rinse With Cold Water

Once the stain remover has had time to work, rinse fabric with cold water to remove any remaining residue. Do not use hot water, as this may set the stain.

Step 4: Wash in Hot Water

If the stain is still visible after rinsing, put the fabric in the washing machine and wash using hot water and your usual detergent. For extra cleaning power, add 1/2 cup of baking soda to load. You may also want to add a color-safe bleach to help remove stubborn stains.

Step 5: Dry Thoroughly

To prevent the stain from setting and worsening, be sure to dry fabric completely before wearing or storing. Hang up the fabric outside or in a well-ventilated area and allow it to dry completely.

Conclusion

Getting stains out of fabric can be daunting, but following these steps will help you get the best results. With some patience and persistence, you can restore your beloved piece of broomstick lace back to its original beauty.
