How should I go about cleaning a needlepoint picture?

Answer by  Vic (38)

One of the best ways to clean a needlepoint picture would be using a product such as Resolve fabric cleaner. Just like you would clean drapes or a couch, you can use a spritz of fabric cleaner and rub lightly on the needlepoint picture with a rag or paper towel.

What I do is to soak the needlepoint in soapy water. Definitely do not scrub it with anything. Just swish it around for a few minutes. Avoid using the washing machine. I also just hang it on a clothesline to dry.

Use Woolite for wool fibers and any mild and colorless soap for cotton and synthetic fibers. Dab gently with an absorbent towel and do not rub.

Gently hand wash the neddlepoint picture in soapy water. Risne the soap out well. Then hang it on a rack or chair and let it air dry. Machines coul ruin the threads.
