Removing Fresh Mouthwash Stains
If you catch the stain while it is still wet, you can use some warm, soapy water and a terry cloth rag. First, dampen the terry cloth rag with the soapy water and blot the stained area. Make sure to be gentle and not to rub—scrubbing can damage intricate design of the Battenberg lace. Once the stain has been blotted away, rinse the cloth with clean, warm water. You may need to repeat this process until all the soap has been removed.
Getting Rid of Set-in Mouthwash Stains
If the mouthwash stain has had time to set, you may need to take different measures. Start by mixing together 1 part dishwashing detergent with 3 parts hydrogen peroxide and apply the mixture to stained area. Allow solution to sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Once the solution has been washed away, launder the Battenberg lace as usual.
Professional Cleaning
If the stain proves to be too difficult to remove with at-home methods, consider taking the Battenberg lace to a professional cleaner. Be sure to explain exactly what kind of stain you are dealing with in order to ensure the best possible outcome.
