The first step in getting rid of tomato sauce stains from your Cornelli lace is to blot the area with a dry towel. Blotting will help absorb some of the sauce and lift it off the fabric. Do not scrub or rub stain as this can cause further damage to the lace.
Once you have blotted the stain, it is time to pre-treat it with a suitable spot remover. There are many commercial spot removers available on the market today. However, you can also use a homemade solution made with vinegar, water and baking soda. Simply mix together equal amounts of each ingredient and apply mixture directly to the stain. Let the pre-treatment sit for at least fifteen minutes before rinsing.
After pre-treating the stain, you should now wash the area with detergent. Make sure to use a mild detergent that does not contain bleach. When washing, use the gentle cycle on your washing machine. This will help ensure that the lace does not become damaged by the machine during process.
Once you have washed the area, you should air-dry the fabric. Do not use a dryer as this could cause lace to shrink or become misshapen. Instead, lay fabric flat to dry, and make sure it is out of direct sunlight.
Once the fabric has completely dried, check to see if the stain is still present. If it is, repeat pre-treatment and washing process again. You may need to do this several times until the stain is completely removed.
Getting rid of tomato sauce stains from your Cornelli lace can be tricky but not impossible! Just follow these simple steps and you should be able to remove those stubborn stains quickly and easily.
