What You'll Need

  • Mild detergent (such as Woolite)
  • White vinegar
  • Soft cloth
  • Bowl of warm water
  • Cotton swabs

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Test Detergent

To ensure that you won't cause any damage to the Battenberg lace, it's important to test a small area first using the mild detergent and a soft cloth. If the color or fabric shows signs of damage, stop immediately. Otherwise, carefully dab at stain until it begins to lighten.

2. Rinse

Once the stain is diminished with detergent, you want to rinse the area with a bowl of warm water. Using soft cloth again, dab the area until it's completely clean. Next, soak the cloth in warm water and gently wipe the area once more.

3. Soak with Vinegar

Once the area is wiped clean, you'll need to soak it with white vinegar. This helps to deep clean, as well as soften any remaining residue. Soak a soft cloth in the vinegar and allow it to sit on the stain for an hour.

4. Blot and Dry

After an hour of soaking, blot the area with a dry cloth in order to absorb any remaining moisture. Hang the Battenberg lace up to let it air dry in the sun for a few hours.

5. Spot Clean with Cotton Swab

If you find that there are any remaining medicine stains, you can use a cotton swab dipped in white vinegar to spot clean. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously as this may damage the fabric.

6. Final Check

Finally, take one last look at the Battenberg lace to make sure that the stains have been completely removed. You should now have a clean and stain-free fabric.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you should no longer have to worry about pesky medicine stains on your delicate Battenberg lace. With a few easy steps, you can effectively get rid of any leftover residue in no time.
