Getting Started
Georgette is a lightweight, crepe fabric made from silk, rayon, nylon, or polyester yarns. Its texture and delicate nature make it susceptible to stains, particularly those from coffee and tea. To clean the stains, it is important to use the right materials and techniques. Here’s what you need to do:
- Blot the stained area to remove any excess liquid.
- Mix one teaspoon of detergent into a cup of warm water.
- Dampen a clean white cloth in this solution and gently dab at the stain.
- Do not rub the fabric or press too hard on the stain as this will cause it to spread further.
- Change the cloth when needed and continue dabbing until stain begins to fade.
- Once the stain has vanished, rinse the fabric in cold running water.
- Inspect the fabric before drying to ensure stain has completely gone away.
- If the stain persists, repeat the process until it is completely removed.
Tips & Tricks
- To prevent staining, always use a coaster when serving hot drinks.
- Always dab the stained area with a clean white cloth and avoid harsh rubbing.
- When cleaning, use a mild detergent and avoid any bleaching agents.
- To get rid of stubborn stains, rinse the fabric in white vinegar.
- Always air dry the fabric instead of using a hairdryer or iron.
