Steps for Removing Ketchup Stains from Venetian Lace
- Test Fabric Colorfastness. Before attempting to remove any stain from Venetian lace, make sure the fabric is colorfast by testing it on an inconspicuous area of the lace. This will help you avoid any unwanted color changes in lace due to the cleaning agents you'll use.

- Apply Solution to Ketchup Stain. Make sure you thoroughly saturate ketchup stain with the solution and allow it to sit for up to 30 minutes.
- Mix White Vinegar Solution. While the oxygen-based bleach solution is working, mix one part white vinegar with two parts water in a separate bowl.
- Dip Toothbrush in Soap. Dip a soft-bristle toothbrush into some dish soap and use it to scrub ketchup stain.
- Rinse Stain with White Vinegar Solution. Rinse the area with the white vinegar solution using a clean white cloth. Allow the solution to sit for approximately 5 minutes.
- Rinse Lace with Water. Finally, rinse the lace with water to remove any remaining residue and allow to air dry.
