Begin by gently brushing the affected area with a soft brush. This will help dislodge any dirt and debris that has become stuck in the lace fibers. Be sure not to be too vigorous; wildflowers can leave behind stubborn stains and you don't want to risk damaging the delicate fabric.
Next, fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and a few drops of liquid laundry detergent. Place the stained piece of lace in the mixture and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen stain and make it easier to remove.
After soaking, rinse the lace in cold, fresh water to remove any soap residue. If necessary, repeat steps two and three until the stain begins to lighten. Note that some stains are more stubborn than others and may take several attempts to completely remove them.
If the stain remains after soaking and rinsing, try attacking it with white vinegar. Soak a cotton swab or cloth in the vinegar and dab it lightly onto the stain. Be sure not to rub too hard or you could risk damaging the lace. Let the vinegar sit for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water.
For really stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to work at the stain. Dip the brush in a mixture of detergent and water, then gently scrub at the area. Be sure to use care to avoid damaging lace. Rinse the area thoroughly with cold water when finished.
Once the stain has been removed, hang the lace up to dry. Do not use a dryer, as this could shrink or damage fabric. Instead, allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated room. Once dry, it should be good as new!
