What You Need:
- Mild laundry detergent
- Stain remover
- White cloths
- Soft-bristled brush
- Iron
Instructions
- Begin by filling a sink or bowl with warm water and one teaspoon of mild laundry detergent. Soak stained area for 15-20 minutes.
- Once it has finished soaking, gently blot the area with a white cloth to help remove the stain. Do not rub or scrub, as this can cause stain to spread.
- If stain remains, spray a bit of stain remover on affected area and let it sit for five minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to carefully brush the area in a circular motion.
- Rinse garment with warm water to remove all the cleaning agents.
- Lay the garment out on a flat surface and use an iron set to the lowest heat setting to dry it. This will help to set the stain.
- If the stain is still visible, repeat the previous steps until it is gone.
Tips and Warnings
- Be sure to spot test cleaning agents and ironing temperature before use.
- Do not use hot water, as this can cause the silk fabric to shrink or become discolored.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to remove the stain.
