Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer fabric that is often used for evening wear, special occasions and blouses. It is also very fragile as it requires special care when laundering. Diaper stains on this type of fabric can be difficult and tedious to remove if not done correctly.
First, always check the garment's cleaning instructions before attempting anything. If chiffon piece is dry clean only, then contact a professional dry cleaner.
If it is safe to machine wash, then begin by blotting the stain with a damp cloth. This will help remove any excess residue and moisture. Then, add a mild detergent such as a baby laundry detergent to the stained area. Gently rub the detergent into the stain with a soft cloth or your fingertips. Let the detergent sit for about 30 minutes.
Next, use cold water to rinse away detergent and any debris from the stain. Be sure to not scrub or rub the stain, as this could create further damage. After rinsing, lay item flat and allow it to air dry.
If the stain remains, repeat the above steps until it is completely gone. If after several attempts, the stain is still visible, consider taking the garment to a professional cleaner. They may have special processes and products that are more effective in removing the stain.
By following these steps, you can safely and successfully remove diaper stains from chiffon fabric. It just takes patience and a bit of elbow grease.
