Freshening

Lace is a delicate fabric that requires gentle care to maintain its intricate beauty. To keep your lace garments fresh, air them out after each wear by laying them flat on a clean towel or hanger in a well-ventilated space. This helps remove any odors and moisture buildup. Avoid exposing lace to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading or weakening of the fibers.

Spot Cleaning

As lace is dry clean only, avoid using water or attempting to hand wash it at home, as this can weaken the fabric’s structure. If you need to address a small stain, gently blot (never rub) the affected area with a dry cloth and take it to a professional cleaner as soon as possible. Always choose a reputable dry cleaner with experience in handling delicate fabrics to ensure your lace remains in perfect condition.

Storing

To maintain the shape and integrity of lace garments, always store them carefully. Use padded hangers for dresses and structured pieces, or fold them with acid-free tissue paper to prevent creasing. If storing lace for an extended period, keep it in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and moths. Store your lace pieces in a cool, dry place, ensuring they are not overcrowded to avoid snagging or misshaping.
