Macramé is a popular craft style that has been used for centuries to make decorative wall decorations, jewelry, and clothing. Its intricate designs look beautiful, but it can be difficult to clean if something gets spilled on it. Medicine spills can be especially tricky to remove as they often contain oily and acidic components that can leave behind stubborn stains.
The first step is to identify what type of stain you are dealing with. Greasy stains usually need a detergent with an alkaline component to break up grease. For acidic stains, use a detergent with an acidic component to break down the acid. Once you’ve identified type of stain, you can choose the appropriate cleaning method.
If you have a greasy medicine stain on your macramé, then you will need to create a cleaning solution. Mix one part dishwashing liquid that is high in alkaline content with four parts warm water. Use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub the stain with this mixture and rinse with cool water afterwards.
For acidic medicine stains, you will need to create a slightly different cleaning solution. Mix one part white vinegar with four parts warm water. Dip a soft-bristled brush into mix and softly scrub the stained area. Rinse with cool water afterwards. You may need to repeat this process a few times before stain is completely gone.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your macramé stays looking like new, no matter what kind of stains it encounters. Just remember that patience and gentle treatment are the key to successful cleaning.
