The first step in removing pencil stains from Teneriffe lace is to identify type of material lace is made of. Different fabrics respond differently to cleaning agents, so knowing the fibers of your lace are essential in order to use the right cleaning method. Wool and cotton Teneriffe lace will require a different approach than silk or synthetic varieties.
Once you have identified material, it's time to choose a cleaning agent. The best choice for removing pencil stains from Teneriffe lace is a mild dishwashing detergent solution. Mix a few drops of mild detergent with warm water and use a soft cloth to blot stained area.
If pencil stains are still visible, you may want to try bleaching them. Dilute a small amount of bleach in a cup of water and use a sponge or brush to lightly scrub the stain. Be sure to rinse the fabric thoroughly after to avoid further damage.
For extra tough stains, you may need to call upon an enzyme cleaner. It is important to follow product instructions carefully as enzyme cleaners can be very harsh on delicate fabrics. You may also need to let the fabric soak in the enzyme cleaner for several hours.
As always with delicate fabrics, it's best to take some precautionary measures before attempting to clean your Teneriffe lace. Always test a discreet area first, such as the inside of the garment or a hidden seam, before attempting to clean entire piece. This ensures that your cleaning method will not damage the material.
Whenever possible, use cold water and skip dryer. This helps keep the fibers of the lace strong and prevents further damage. Finally, make sure to wash the item of clothing separately to avoid possible color transfer onto other fabrics.
Cleaning pencil stains from Teneriffe lace does not have to be a difficult task. With the right cleaning agent and a few precautionary steps, you can easily remove those pesky pencil marks and keep your lace garments looking their best.
