How to clean dirty ivory diamonte wedding veil?

Hi everyone :)

Just a quick question, when I bought my wedding dress from eBay the lady threw in a veil for free and it's exactly what I wanted but the edges are dirty. Its a 2 tier ivory veil with little diamontes on it and it's about knee length so not sure how it got dirty :) The only bit that is dirty is the pencil edging, it just looks dirty but doesn't look like stains or anything. I hope I can get it out cause I don't want anyone to notice the dirt when it's against my dress lol

Do I hand wash it in normal washing powder or do I need to use something else? :)

Thanks :D

    If it was mine I would try using soap on it and hand washing the edges?

  • My mum did the same for mine - little bit of stain remover with some water, gentle rubbing and a bit of patience!
