Gathering Supplies

Before you begin removing the stain, it is important to gather the supplies needed to clean Cornelli lace. You will need a few basic items such as an old toothbrush, mild liquid detergent, white vinegar, non-chlorine bleach, and lukewarm water.

Removing the Stain

Once you have your supplies, you are ready to start tackling stain. Begin by using a damp cloth to lightly scrub the stain to remove as much of it as possible.

Next, you will create a cleaning solution. In a small bowl, mix one tablespoon of mild liquid detergent with two tablespoons of white vinegar and one teaspoon of non-chlorine bleach. Add a few drops of lukewarm water to create a thick paste.

Using an old toothbrush, apply the cleaning solution directly to the stained area of the Cornelli lace. Gently work the solution into the fabric using circular motions. You may need to repeat this step several times until the stain begins to fade.

Once you have addressed stain, rinse the Cornelli lace with warm water to remove the solution. If there are still traces of the stain remaining, repeat the above steps until it is gone.

Drying the Fabric

Once the stain has been removed, it's time to dry the fabric. Avoid using direct heat, such as a hairdryer, as this may damage delicate Cornelli lace. Instead, lay the fabric flat on a towel and allow it to air dry completely.

Finishing Touches

After the fabric has dried, use a soft bristled brush, such as a baby brush, to gently brush the fabric and bring back texture of the lace. Be sure to brush in one direction to prevent further damage.
