The first step in cleaning an ink stain from lace is to blot the area using a soft, absorbent paper towel. Blot the stained area gently, trying not to smudge or spread stain. You may have to repeat this process several times before the cloth absorbs all liquid.
Once you’ve blotted the stain, it’s time to soak area in cold water. Fill a sink, basin or bowl with cold water and submerge area with the stain. Let the fabric soak for at least 15 minutes. This will help to loosen any stubborn ink that may still be present.
Now that you’ve blotted and soaked the stain, it’s time to apply mild detergent. Using a clean, soft-bristled brush, lightly scrub the area with the detergent. This should help to remove any lingering ink particles.
Finally, once you’ve finished cleaning the ink stain it’s time to dry material. Avoid harsh drying techniques such as machine drying as this can damage the delicate lace. Instead, air dry the fabric by laying it flat on a clean surface, away from direct sunlight.
Follow these steps and you too can say goodbye to those pesky ink stains on your Cornelli lace! Just be sure to take care when cleaning delicate fabrics to avoid any damaging material.
