Materials Needed

  • Mild detergent
  • Soft cloth
  • White Vinegar
  • Toothbrush

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Mix mild detergent with warm water and use the cloth to blot the stained area. Do not rub or scrub the stain as this can cause damage to lace.
  2. Let the detergent mix sit on the stained area for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Dab the cloth in clean water and use it to remove the detergent mixture. Be careful not to agitate the stain too much.
  4. If stain persists, soak a cloth in white vinegar, dab it onto the stain, and let it sit for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  5. Rinse off the vinegar with a cloth dipped in clean water.
  6. If there are any stubborn spots, use a gently bristled toothbrush to scrub away residue.
  7. Once all the stain is gone, rinse the lace with cold water to remove any remaining soap or vinegar.
  8. Lay the lace flat to air dry.

Additional Tips

  • Always test a small, hidden area of the fabric first before applying cleaning solutions to avoid further damage.
  • For darker colors, use a color-safe bleach to remove the stain rather than white vinegar.
  • Be sure to use only a mild detergent and be gentle when scrubbing the stain to avoid damaging the delicate lace.
