I recently had to clean a long runner which I have on my chest of
drawers/dressing table. Many years ago someone said put the lace into a
bag with unperfumed talc and give it a good shake. Then shake all the
talc out. It worked and the runner is like new.
Otherwise I have pinned out the lace onto a thin sheet of polystyrene,
gently made it wet with a shower,then used baby liquid soap solution
on the lace, showered it very well- always with tepid water- and left
it to dry. The polystyrene sheet was ¼ -½" thick and I used milanese
pins. The lace would dry as if it had been starched and never in
strong sunlight.
