Many people are unfamiliar with how to wash and properly care for lace as it is a specialty fabric. If you’ve been wondering how to wash lace pieces, we can help! We truly love all things laundry and fabric care and helping people preserve their favorite clothing items or heirlooms is incredibly rewarding. Washing lace is a simple process, the first step of which is finding an appropriately gentle laundry detergent. We have created such a product, and are happy to share it with you.

To learn how to care for lace, you can start with using a high-quality, gentle soap when washing. The Delicate Wash is the perfect solution. For lace, we recommend hand washing with cold water, and not using the washing machine (even on the gentle cycle). Massage the soapy water evenly onto the fabric and allow the item to soak for roughly 30 minutes. Rinse well once the soak is complete and gently press out excess water. Be sure never to wring it (in other words, don’t twist it up tightly and squeeze). Lay flat in its natural shape to dry.
