Method 1: Detergent & Hot Water
When it comes to tackling tougher stains, like feces on silk satin fabrics, hot water and detergent can go a long way. Start by blending one cup of lukewarm water with ¼ teaspoon of a mild detergent; you want to be careful with what you choose, as many harsher cleaning agents can damage your fabrics. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and start blotting the area where the stain is, slowly working your way out. Don’t rub the stain, as this could drive it deeper into the fabric.
Method 2: Hydrogen Peroxide & Ammonia
If first method doesn’t work, try combining one teaspoon of liquid ammonia with one cup of hydrogen peroxide. As before, pour some onto a cloth and dab the solution onto the affected area. Make sure to continue working your way outwards. You should see the stain beginning to shift due to chemical reactions coming from the hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Once the stain is gone, you’ll want to rinse the area thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Method 3: Shaving Cream
This final method may seem unlikely, but it really is effective. Start by liberally applying some shaving cream onto the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes and then remove using an old toothbrush. The abrasive texture and cleaning properties of shaving cream should help to lift the stain while the bristles of the toothbrush will help to scrub away any stubborn residue. Once the majority of the mess has been cleared, blot the area with cold water to rinse.
Conclusion
No matter how careful you are around your silk satin fabrics, accidents do occur. Fortunately, knowing how to clean feces stains from these delicate fabrics is now something you don’t have to worry about! Using one of the methods above, you’ll have no trouble getting your fabrics back in pristine condition.
