Step 1: Pre-treat the Stain
Since diaper stains can be stubborn, it’s best to pre-treat the stain before laundering the fabric. Start by filling a basin or bathtub with lukewarm water and mix in a few tablespoons of mild laundry detergent. Once mixture is sudsy, submerge the stained area in the solution and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the stain once you start washing the fabric.
Step 2: Wash the Fabric
Once the pre-treatment is done, you can move on to washing fabric. For best results, choose a gentle cycle on your washing machine and use a mild detergent. Make sure to check the garment tag first, since some silk organza fabrics might require dry cleaning instead. To preserve the delicate texture of the fabric, you can also opt for a hand wash, using a gentle motion when scrubbing away at the stain.
Step 3: Air Dry the Fabric
When your fabric is done washing, you should avoid using a machine dryer. Instead, air dry garment by laying it flat on a towel. The heat of the dryer could cause more damage to the delicate organza fabric, so if you choose to go this route, use a low heat setting and monitor the garment carefully.
Step 4: Evaluate the Stain
Once your fabric has finished air drying, take a close look at stain. If it’s still there, repeat Steps 1-3 until it’s gone. If it’s not, then you’re all done! Congratulations on removing the nasty diaper stain from your silk organza fabric.
