Answer 1

Things You’ll Need:

    * Oxygen cleanser

    * Fabric wash

    * Towel

Step1

Take the veil to a professional cleaner if it is an antique or you aren't sure that it is washable.

Step2

Proceed with cleaning your wedding veil if you are confident it is safe to do so. Fill a tub, basin or sink with lukewarm water. Add a small amount of oxygen cleanser and a small amount of gentle fabric wash.

Step3

Let the veil soak in the mixture for a few minutes. While it soaks, move it around a few times to let the cleansers penetrate the fabric.

Step4

Clean the veil with your hands very gently. Swish it around in the water in the same way a washing machine agitates clothing. You can also squeeze it a bit to dislodge some of the soil.

Step5

Run the veil under cold water to remove the dirt and cleaning solutions. Swish it in another tub of clean cold water. If there is still cleaning solution in the fabric, you will be able to see it in the water. If you still see some cleansers coming from the veil, repeat the rinsing process until it is all gone.

Step6

Repeat Steps 2 through 5 if there is still some soil or discoloration in your wedding veil.

Step7

Lay the veil on a clean dry towel and fold the towel. Press gently to get the water out of the garment. Drape the veil over a curtain or shower rod, clothes hanger or a skirt hanger. It needs plenty of free-flowing air to dry properly.

Answer 2

If it is synthetic or silk then bleaching it with a chlorine bleach is a definite NO. It will disintegrate.
