Materials Needed
- Mild detergent
- Soft cloth
- White Vinegar
- Toothbrush
Step-by-Step Process
- 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.
- Let the detergent mix sit on the stained area for 5-10 minutes.
- Dab the cloth in clean water and use it to remove the detergent mixture. Be careful not to agitate the stain too much.
- If stain persists, soak a cloth in white vinegar, dab it onto the stain, and let it sit for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Rinse off the vinegar with a cloth dipped in clean water.
- If there are any stubborn spots, use a gently bristled toothbrush to scrub away residue.
- Once all the stain is gone, rinse the lace with cold water to remove any remaining soap or vinegar.
- 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.
