Carrickmacross lace is a type of Irish lace that has been crafted with care for centuries. Unfortunately, when it comes to caring for the piece, its delicate nature means that any stain – especially from diaper stains – can be incredibly hard to remove. Luckily, there are a few proven methods to help clean your lace upholstery and get them looking pristine again.

For smaller spots and areas, gently tweezing can be a very effective method for removing diaper stains from Carrickmacross lace. Use an old toothbrush or soft brush to lift away any debris or particles before carefully tweezing away at stain with a pair of tweezers. Be gentle and don’t pull too hard to avoid damaging the lace. This method works best on small, fresh stains.
If the stain persists, try washing the lace with detergent. Start by filling a container with tepid water and a small amount of liquid soap. Dip a rag into the solution and use it to scrub area gently. Rinse out the detergent with cold, clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as it could damage the lace's delicate fibers.
For toughest diaper stains, you may need to take your Carrickmacross lace to a professional dry cleaner. They have the expertise and experience to deal with the most difficult situations, and should be able to get your lace looking good as new in no time.
