Fortunately, with the right patience and care, and the following steps, you can easily clean ink stains from your Teneriffe lace.
Removing Ink Stains from Teneriffe Lace
- First, take your Teneriffe lace and soak it in cool water for at least thirty minutes.
- Once the lace is finished soaking, take a brush toothbrush and add a drop of mild detergent. Use the toothbrush to scrub the ink stain gently and slowly. Be sure to use only slight pressure to avoid further damage to the lace.
- Once stain is gone, rinse the lace in cool water until all traces of soap are removed.
- Lay the lace flat on a towel and blot away any excess water before hanging up or laying out lace to air dry.
If you find that the stain persists, you can also try using a homemade solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup warm water. Soak the stained area for 30 minutes, and then use a cloth to dab area before rinsing with cool water. Alternatively, you can purchase an ink stain remover specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
Caring for Teneriffe Lace
To keep your Teneriffe lace looking its best, there are a few key steps you can take. First, when laundering Teneriffe lace, make sure to always do so with cool water, and instead of using a dryer, lay out the lace to dry.
Secondly, never use bleach, as this will irreparably damage the fabric. Once finished cleaning and drying your Teneriffe lace, be sure to store it in a cool, dark place, such as a closet or drawer, and avoid hanging it up for extended periods of time.
With right care and attention, your Teneriffe lace can remain beautiful and in good condition for generations to come.
