Check the Care Label: Always start by checking the care label on the lace item. The manufacturer's instructions will provide specific guidance for that particular piece.

 

Hand Washing:

Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water.

• Add a small amount of mild detergent that is suitable for delicate fabrics.

• Gently agitate the water to create suds.

1. Submerge the Lace:

• Place the lace item in the soapy water.

• Gently swish it around, ensuring the entire piece is submerged.

1. Clean Stains Carefully:

• If there are stains, you can use a soft brush or cloth to gently spot clean the affected areas.

• Avoid rubbing or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the delicate lace fibers.

1. Rinse Thoroughly:

• Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean, lukewarm water.

• Rinse the lace item thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

1. Avoid Wringing:

• Never wring out lace items, as this can distort the delicate fabric. Instead, gently press the water out.

1. Lay Flat to Dry:

• Lay the lace item flat on a clean, dry towel.

• Gently reshape it to its original form.

• Allow it to air dry completely.

1. Avoid Sunlight and Heat:

• Do not expose lace items to direct sunlight or high heat, as this can cause the fabric to become brittle or discolored.

1. Storage:

• Store lace items in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid folding or hanging them in a way that may stretch or distort the lace.

1. Professional Cleaning:

• For intricate or valuable lace pieces, consider professional dry cleaning to ensure proper care.
• Always remember to adapt these guidelines based on the specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer. If in doubt, it's advisable to err on the side of caution and choose gentler cleaning methods.
