Hi, You're in California, so you should be able to find Orvus. It's the only thing usually recommended for lace, and even then--only in minute amounts.
Our member expert gave this info in a previous message. ------------ For lace washing instructions, go to: www.honitonlace.com Click on "Cleaning Lace" in the Contents list on the left. Then click on "here" in the first paragraph of the next screen. Heed all warnings. Newbies - I recommend you print out the instructions. There is very little information available on the subject of washing laces in a home setting. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace & Embroidery Resource Center -------------------------- Jeri is the expert, and these instructions should answer your questions.
