Needlework and embroidery should be gently dusted regularly. Embroidered pillows can also be taken outside and patted gently to release dust. For deeper cleanings, most embroidery can be vacuumed, but protect needlework from damage by securing an old nylon stocking over the vacuum cleaner attachment.
Set-in stains or materials that are not colorfast need to be cleaned by a professional. Spots on embroidered chair cushions, for example, should be cleaned by an upholstery cleaning specialist. Smaller, “portable” items can be taken to a dry cleaner.
