How Do You Clean A Yellowed Wedding Veil?
Wearing a mother’s or grandmother’s wedding veil can be a beautiful way to incorporate that special person into your wedding. However, the veil may be 30 or even 50-plus years old, suffering the ravages of time. A common problem with old wedding veils is that they have become yellowed with age. Before you wear your veil, brighten it up with a few careful cleaning steps that will cleanse the fabric and lighten the veil simultaneously. The methods described are all natural and should be safe for lace, tulle or other netting fabrics. However, age will play a major role in what your veil can endure. Clip off a small piece of the yellowed veil from a portion of the accessory that will not show. Test everything on this piece before applying it to the whole veil to determine what works and, potentially, what will harm or destroy the fabric. Rinse the veil in a mixture of warm water and lemon juice. You can heat the water on the stove, but do not bring it to boil. Be very gentle with the veil
