Gently Tweezers
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.
Wash with Detergent
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.
Professional Dry Cleaning
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.
