Release date:

2021-08-19

After completing the cross-stitch embroidery, you can soak and gently wash it in saltwater. Once cleaned, roll up the fabric to remove excess water, then blot away any remaining moisture with a clean towel. Finally, lay the piece out in a well-ventilated area to air dry—this method will help achieve the best cleaning results. If your cross-stitch has cosmetic stains, you can tackle them by gently rubbing the affected areas with soapy water, rubbing alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, or even a mild volatile oil. This should effectively lift and remove the stains. Just remember: when washing your cross-stitch, use warm water heated to around 45°C, and avoid exposing the finished piece directly to sunlight after washing.
