Steps for Cleaning Perspiration Stains From Chantilly Lace

  1. Flush stained area with cold water. Do not use hot or warm water as this can set the stain further.
  2. Create a cleaning solution using ¼ teaspoon of mild laundry detergent (or a gentle, specialised soap designed for delicate fabrics such as Chantilly lace) and 1 cup of cold water. Do not use heavy-duty laundry detergents as they are too harsh for delicate fabrics.
  3. Using a soft cloth that has been dampened with cleaning solution, gently dab the stained area until it is slightly dampened.
  4. Lay the Chantilly lace flat on a clean towel.
  5. Mix together 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 cups of cold water. Using another soft cloth dampened with this mixture, dab stained area until it is slightly dampened.
  6. Lay the Chantilly lace back on the towel and cover it with a second towel.
  7. Press down gently with a warm iron until the stain has disappeared.
  8. Allow the lace to air dry completely.

Tips for Cleaning Perspiration Stains From Chantilly Lace

  • It is important that you use only cold water when flushing the stained area. Hot or warm water can set the stain.
  • Only use a very mild laundry detergent or a gentle, specialised soap designed for delicate fabrics such as Chantilly lace.
  • Take the time to review care labels and instructions, as some lace may not be suitable for ironing.
  • If you’re unsure about the cleaning method, consult a professional dry cleaner.
