Duchess lace is the height of elegance and luxury. It can pair with anything from a formal evening gown to a breezy sundress, adding a touch of sophistication and charm. But when grass stains show up on the daintiness of the lace, cleaning them can seem like a daunting task.

Fortunately, cleaning stained Duchess lace doesn't have to be a chore. You don't need to resort to taking it to the dry cleaner or argue with your stain remover spray. Keeping your lace looking spick and span is as simple as following a few easy steps.
Start by pouring some white vinegar directly on the grass stain. Gently work the vinegar into the delicate fabric using your fingers or an old toothbrush. The acidity of the vinegar will help to loosen grass stain from the fibers of your lace dress.
Next, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the stain and scrub gently using an old toothbrush. The baking soda will act as an abrasive to help remove the remaining stained particles from fabric.
Once you've removed as much of the stain as possible, fill a basin with warm water and add a few drops of laundry detergent. Submerge the stained area of your lace dress and let it soak for about 20 minutes. This will help to further loosen the remaining particles.
When the time is up, gently rinse the area with cold water. Make sure all of the detergent is gone - residue will cause fabric to attract dirt more easily. Finally, blot the area with a soft cloth until the fabric is dry.
Removing grass stains from your Duchess lace doesn't have to be a nightmare. With a few simple supplies and a bit of patience, you can keep your lace looking like new. The next time you find yourself struggling with a grass-stained gown, just follow these steps to restore its beauty.
