Venetian lace is delicate and intricate, often consisting of many fine threads, so cleaning it can be intimidating. But even deep red wine stains don't have to be a showstopper. Follow these steps to rescue your lace from sticky spills.
The first step in cleaning any stain is blotting the spot. Don't try to wipe or rub it, as this can cause it to spread. Use a clean, white cloth and press it gently into the areas surrounding the stain to absorb as much of the liquid as possible.
For a tricky wine stain on Venetian lace, the best next step is to soak the affected areas in club soda or vinegar. Both are excellent at helping to remove tough stains like red wine. Start by pouring either club soda or white vinegar over the stained area, and let it sit for several minutes. Then, blot it with a clean cloth.
Once you've soaked the stained area, the next step is to gently wash the fabric. For delicate items like Venetian lace, it's best to hand wash in lukewarm water. If you need to machine wash, select the gentlest option and use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. When you're finished, allow the lace to air dry.
If stain persists, it will be necessary to repeat the process until it's gone. Once it's removed, make sure to line dry the item or lay it flat to keep it looking beautiful.
With a few simple steps, it's easy to remove even the toughest red wine stains from Venetian lace. Next time you have one of these accidents, you'll be ready to tackle it quickly and easily.
