What You'll Need

Dishwashing liquid
White vinegar
Old toothbrush
Clean white cloth
Spray bottle (optional)

Step One: Test Your Lace

Before you start cleaning your Cornelli lace, it's important to test it. Apply a small amount of the dishwashing liquid and white vinegar solution (we'll discuss making this solution in step two) on an inconspicuous part of the lace. Leave it for several minutes, then gently rub with a cloth. If it starts to discolor or fray, then you'll want to move on to a less harsh cleaning method or take your lace to a professional.

Step Two: Make Your Solution

Once you've tested your lace, you're ready to make your cleaning solution. In a bowl or cup, mix together two parts dishwashing liquid and one part white vinegar. Mix until combined, then pour into a spray bottle. If you don't have a spray bottle handy, you can use a clean cloth instead.

Step Three: Start Cleaning

Now that you've made your solution and tested your lace, it's time to start cleaning. Begin by spraying (or dabbing with cloth) the stained area with the solution. Allow it to sit for several minutes before gently scrubbing with an old toothbrush. Repeat as necessary until the stain is gone.

Finishing Up

Once you've gotten rid of the wine stain, you'll want to rinse off any remaining cleaning solution. Use room temperature water and a clean cloth to remove the remaining residue. Allow your lace to air dry naturally, and voila! Your Cornelli lace is good as new.
