I'm thinking of bleaching the lace, will it work or just damage the lace? (sewing)
If it's lace purchased from a fabric store and it is cotton, then there's shouldn't be much of a problem. But lace trims are so cheap why take the risk of ruining it when you can simply buy white lace which won't need bleaching. If the lace is nylon or polyester it won't bleach. if it's 100% nylon, it will turn even yellower! Be aware that the bleached lace will now be far less sturdy and it will be more likely to tear, rip and fall apart than an unbleached lace. If the lace is recycled from an older white garment and only the lace is yellow, then don't bleach it, the lace won't become white, the white fabric will be damaged and the lace might become yellower. Before bleaching old lace, try using oxy clean instead. It's far gentler and might be all the yellow lace needs. And if its very old lace or an antique lace(older than sixty years old) do not bleach it under any circumstances, take it to a speciality cleaners or try a weak solution of oxy-clean.
