What should I do if my peau de soie fabric is stained with dessert wine?

If your peau de soie fabric has been stained with dessert wine, you can try to remove the stain using white vinegar and dish soap. Start by blotting the stain with a clean and dry cloth, then mix a solution of two parts white vinegar and one part dish soap. Apply the mixture to the stain and then rinse it with cool water. Finally, launder the fabric as normal.

What happens if I don't rinse the stained area?

If you don't rinse the stained area, the vinegar and dish soap can actually cause discoloration or damage to the fabric. Be sure to rinse the area with cool water after applying the cleaning solution.

Mix together two parts white vinegar and one part dish soap in a small bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and apply it to the stained area.

Step 3: Rinse Stain

Rinse the stained area with cold water. Blot the area with a clean cloth to absorb any excess liquid.

Step 4: Launder Fabric

Once stain is removed, you can launder the fabric as normal. Use cold water and a mild laundry detergent to ensure that the colors of your peau de soie fabric aren't faded. Hang fabric up to dry.

Tips

If the stain has already dried, soak it in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for 30 minutes before attempting to remove it.
