How to clean a veil ??

Ali_G, 23 August, 2012 at 11:58 Posted on Planning 0 7

Anyone got any suggestions?

I'm borrowing a veil from a friend. It hasn't been cleaned and is a bit grubby at the bottom from when she wore it.

Does it need to be dry cleaned or do you think a hand wash in warm soapy water will do the job?

    I'd probably just take it to dry cleaners so I didn't ruin it...

    However I found this on a website (https://www.hitched.co.uk/chat/forums/t/333587.aspx)

    Instructions

      • 1

        Take the veil to a professional cleaner if it is an antique or you aren't sure that it is washable.

      • 2

        Proceed with cleaning your wedding veil if you are confident it is safe to do so. Fill a tub, basin or sink with lukewarm water. Add a small amount of oxygen cleanser and a small amount of gentle fabric wash.

      • 3

        Let the veil soak in the mixture for a few minutes. While it soaks, move it around a few times to let the cleansers penetrate the fabric.

      • 4

        Clean the veil with your hands very gently. Swish it around in the water in the same way a washing machine agitates clothing. You can also squeeze it a bit to dislodge some of the soil.

      • 5

        Run the veil under cold water to remove the dirt and cleaning solutions. Swish it in another tub of clean cold water. If there is still cleaning solution in the fabric, you will be able to see it in the water. If you still see some cleansers coming from the veil, repeat the rinsing process until it is all gone.

      • 6

        Repeat Steps 2 through 5 if there is still some soil or discoloration in your wedding veil.

      • 7

        Lay the veil on a clean dry towel and fold the towel. Press gently to get the water out of the garment. Drape the veil over a curtain or shower rod, clothes hanger or a skirt hanger. It needs plenty of free-flowing air to dry properly.

    Tips & Warnings
    • Store your veil in acid-free paper to prevent future discoloration.

    • Don't use hot water or bleach. These can damage delicate fabrics.

    I cleaned mine in the sink with warm water and Vanish Oxy Action Powder. I didnt scrub it, just filled up the bowl with warm water, submerged the veil and left to soak for an hour, drained the water, rinsed gently under a cool tap and left onthe airer to dry.

    Looks brand new, just be careful with and glitzy bits etc...

    HEY,

    I’d be careful with harsh cleaners, especially if the veil has delicate lace or beadwork. A gentle hand wash and air drying usually works well. If it still looks a bit tired, professional fabric cleaning can help preserve the material. I came across some useful cleaning advice from https://cleanify.co.nz/ that covers handling delicate household fabrics safely.
