Step 1: Pre-Soak the Stained Area

The first step for removing a diaper stain from Venetian lace is to pre-soak the area with a mixture of soap and water. To make the mixture, mix together one teaspoon of mild laundry detergent with one quart of room temperature water in a container. Submerge the stained area of the lace in soapy solution and allow it to soak for 15-30 minutes.

Step 2: Brush Away Stain

Once the stain has had time to soak, use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub away the remaining residue. Start with outer edges of stain and work your way in until the stain is completely gone. Make sure you are using a soft bristled brush designed for delicate fabrics such as lace to avoid any potential damage.

Step 3: Rinse with Water

Using a damp cloth, rinse area with cold water to remove any remaining suds or residue from the cleaning mixture. Allow the area to air dry or pat area gently with a clean cloth to speed up the drying process.

Step 4: Treat with Baking Soda

To prevent stains from reappearing, treat the area with a light sprinkle of baking soda. Allow the baking soda to sit on the fabric for 10-30 minutes before vacuuming it off. This will help absorb any leftover moisture and keep the lace looking pristine.

Step 5: Store Properly

Be sure to store the lace in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help ensure that your Venetian lace looks beautiful for years to come!
