What You'll Need
- Oxygen-based bleach or a gentle liquid laundry detergent (like Dreft)
- Clean towels
- Sponge or soft-bristled brush
- Plastic bucket
- Cold water
Steps for Cleaning
- Create a cleaning solution by adding 1 cup oxygen-based bleach or 2 tablespoons gentle liquid laundry detergent to a plastic bucket filled with cold water.
- Immerse the Irish crochet in cleaning solution.
- Allow the fabric to soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Gently scrub the stained area with a sponge or soft-bristled brush.
- Remove the Irish crochet from the cleaning solution, rinse in cold water and wring out excess moisture with a towel.
- Lay the fabric flat and allow it to air dry.
Tips
- Avoid using hot water — as it can cause the Irish crochet to shrink or fade.
- If the stain still persists, try using a white vinegar solution, which can help remove any soap residue or oil-based stains.
